Souvenirs editorial
The Souvenirs team is the byline on guides no local has signed yet. The city hubs say these guides are written by people who know the place, and where that person does not exist yet we would rather say so than invent one: the Paris guides are researched, written and edited in-house. They move to a resident's byline the day someone who actually lives in Paris signs them.
