From Paris through My Lens.
Believe it or not, we at Girls’ Guide love other people’s blogs as well as our own. Our site is a mixture of five blogs and a one-stop-shopping e-guide to Paris, with more than 4,000 pages of things to do in the City of Light. But often I get inspired by many of the other delightful, beautifully written, whimsical or hysterically funny blogs written by expats or Parisians. There are too many to name here, but I’ve tried to pick out some of my favorites. Drum roll please . . . so these are the best Paris blogs (in my humble opinion) for 2012. Please share your faves with us on Facebook.
The Paris Blog
Why? Because Laurie Pike is an amalgamator of a bunch of other great blogs, making her blog a one-stop resource for all of Paris.
HiP Paris
Creative, unique and beautiful, and exquisitely edited by my friend Erica Berman.
Paris by Mouth
Founded by two GG2P food writers, Meg and Barbra, this site is a MUST-READ for every Paris foodie.

David Lebovitz
A former pastry chef, he’s the king of all Paris bloggers, and he is always hysterically funny.
Badaude
For the illustrations . . . love, love.
Girls’ Guide to Paris
How gauche to include ourselves?! Our site is very useful for trip planning, and it’s the only one to have an extensive Travel Club with 100-plus partners.
From HiP Paris.
