Doni Belau

In 2000, after many visits to Paris, Ms. Belau and her hubby bought an apartment in the 6th Arrondissement during a “what the hell” moment. She started her website, Girls' Guide to Paris in 2009, which now has over 15 contributors who all live in the Paris, plus downloadable walking tours, a travel club, and a radio show. Doni continues to visit her favorite place on earth many times each year, and obsessively combs through every guidebook about Paris, scours nearly every blog and travel magazine, and spends countless hours hunting down the newest restaurants and shops. Her mission now is to continue introducing her favorite parts of Paris to readers, friends, acquaintances, and anyone on the street who will listen.
