About Tom Reeves

Seventeen years ago, Tom Reeves and his wife moved to Paris to experience a more slow-paced, culturally enriched lifestyle. As their love for the city grew with each passing year, their desire to share their knowledge of, and passion for, Paris grew as well. As a result, they founded Discover Paris!, a travel planning service, and began writing a monthly newsletter entitled Paris Insights. Their book 'Paris Insights – An Anthology' is a collection of several of the most popular newsletters published by Discover Paris! since 2000.
