In pastry we trust

Globetrotters and passionate gastronomic experts, we look forward to sharing with you all the Sweet Secrets of Paris in the most charming neighbourhoods.

  • SWEET SECRETS OF PARIS FOOD TOURS - MICHELLE ZILING OU

    Michelle

    FOUNDER

    Parisian by adoption, Michelle is a globetrotter, serious foodie and qualified pastry chef trained at a prestigious French culinary school before surviving a Michelin kitchen.

    With a Master’s Degree in Strategic Marketing, Michelle began her career in a leading FMCG firm as a graduate trainee in Australia and Hong Kong, before relocating to France in 2014. Hopelessly falling in love with the city, she quit her job to follow her dream to learn the art of French pâtisserie.

    Passionate about languages, arts & culture, she is also a marketing & communications consultant, translator, photographer, career & relationship coach, dream interpreter, as well as active social & professional networking event organiser here in Paris.

    In September 2024, Michelle was selected on a highly competitive professional training programme (29 admitted out of 300+ candidates), arguably one of the best in the country for the French National Guiding License. She’s taken on yet one new challenge to work towards her national diploma in order to become an official guide, realising yet another ambitious dream of hers.
