The founder and CEO of VINGT Paris, having relocated to the French capital in 2003, Susie’s knowledge of the city is unparalleled. In fact, she started VINGT Paris Magazine to share that knowledge with Paris visitors and locals.
Managing a portfolio of properties all over Paris gives her the chance to see each neighbourhood from a local’s perspective, so she has difficulty choosing a favourite. Like a true Parisian, she also appreciates both the highs and lows: From the buzz of the Marais on a Friday night and the hustle of the Saint-Ouen flea markets to the formal beauty of the Palais-Royale and a moonlit stroll along the Seine River, there’s a Parisian experience to suit every mood.
Her constant energy is inspired by creativity, ideas and culture, one of the things that Paris has in abundance. Managing VINGT puts her into contact with many amazing people and places, and she appreciates the unique relationship she has with the city.

Being so close to two great markets – Marché d’Aligre and Bastille.

Born in Serbia, Aleksandar has travelled extensively since then – and, as such, he considers himself a ‘citizen of the world’. Originally graduating in Tourism, he spent five years working in real estate in Madrid as a customer service specialist. He moved to Paris in September 2018, as a client of VINGT Paris, subsequently joining the company in international relocation. Now happily settled in the Marais, he is married to a Spanish fashion photographer and they especially enjoy walking their dog along the Seine.
Favourite local bar?
I really like the appropriately-titled ‘La Favorite’, which is just steps away from my home. It got my attention because always when I pass, there are people laughing, there is great draft beer and a sunny terrace in the mornings.
Favourite local café/restaurant?
After living in various countries around South and East Asia, I fell in love with their food. So, I love to jump into all those small, random and unknown places along rue Montorgueil in the second arrondissement.
Local indulgence?
I love the fresh morning croissants from the boulangerie in front of my apartment in rue du Vertbois, in the third arrrondissiment especially on a Sunday morning.
Guilty pleasure?
I am a chocolate freak, so I like to walk down the rue de Bretagne, in the Haut Marais which is close to my home, and just check into all the patisseries, one by one.
The best thing about your quartier?
Le Marais is a perfect, very cosmopolitan and artistic neighborhood. Every day, I find some new cool shop, gallery or conceptual bar. Also, the Seine is close to my home, where I love to walk with my wife and dog.

A resident of les Yvelines, to the south-west of Paris, Ellen has lived in the Île-de-France region for many years. She moved out of the capital a few years ago, to be “nearer to the beach”, and now has the best of both worlds living between Paris and Normandie.
Ellen describes herself as a “people person” and loves every moment of her work, helping clients to achieve their dream. Also a keen fitness advocate, Ellen previously ran her own upmarket sports centre with private coaching.
Favourite local bar?
I love the legendary Le Rosa Bonheur, which has three lovely locations – one in the Buttes Chaumont park and the other two on the banks of the Seine. Also, Le Perchoir, in Ménilmontant, is one of the city’s best rooftop terraces.
Favourite local café/restaurant?
My dad was a chef and, when we were young, he always spoke so highly of France, Paris and French cuisine. When I arrived here, I knew I was where I was supposed to be. Today, my favourites include the mythical Parisian haunt Chez Chartier, which has two addresses – one on Grands Boulevards and the other in Montparnasse. Also, the traditional pizzeria, ‘Da Graziella’, in the 10th – and Café de l’ Homme, in the heart of Passy, offers an unobstructed view over the Eiffel Tower.
Local indulgence?
You can’t really beat the old classic of some good French bread and a nice slice of cheese!
Guilty pleasure?
I must confess I have a soft spot for the les macarons of Pierre Hermé with their perfect pastel colours and delicious soft centre.
The best thing about your quartier?
Having the best of both worlds – between Paris and the sea! When I’m in Paris, I especially love to see the Tour Eiffel.
Amoureuse de Paris!

Still exploring Paris! But I really like Le Caveau de la Huchette for a lively atmosphere and great live jazz music.
Favourite local café/restaurant?
Le Relais L’entrecote for a timeless steak and frites with their amazing secret sauce. I recommend going for a late evening dinner to avoid the queues.
Local indulgence?
Sitting in the sun in the Palais-Royal gardens after work and picnics in Parc Monceau at the weekends.
Guilty pleasure?
I like to try a cinnamon bun at every cafe and bakery I visit. I’ve got a pretty strong list of the best places to go!
