Meet the Team behind SayBonjour!

These two friends bring their individual stories and experiences together to share a unique look on life in Paris and learning the French language.


Manon

 

 

// THE FRENCHIE

Teaches French as a foreign language. Originally from Normandy, she moved to Paris to teach in various schools and universities. She loves to travel, has lived in multiple countries and gets to “travel” daily while working with foreigners from all over the world. She has a passion for the French language as well as sharing the rich culture and history of France and Paris.


Melissa

 

 

// THE AMERICAN

Moved to France in 2014 to have a fresh start in life. She didn’t speak the language upon arriving and had her fair-share of culture shock. But through the journey, she has recreated her life in Paris through learning the language and culture. Now, two years later, Paris is home, she speaks French, is engaged to a Frenchman and plans on calling France her forever-home. A storyteller at heart, she loves sharing her experiences, her faux pas, her struggles and most of all the joys of life expat in Paris.

We have lived it, taught it, learned it, and experienced it. Here we share it!

Together we form a team that can bring you unique perspectives that you won’t find anywhere else! Our individual insider/outsider experiences mean we have been there, done that and are ready to guide you through your journey as well!
