Personalised Paris

Since 2009

Hi, I’m Regina, Australian based, Paris obsessed B&B specialist of over 17 years, featured in travel publications The Weekend Australian, The Age, Cosmo Bride and Virgin Voyeur.

I offer a handpicked selection of incredibly charming and authentic Paris B&Bs Authentic residential family run B&Bs in Paris (Known as Chambre d’hotes in French) ie traditional guesthouses in Paris. The hosts I work with are the kindest, most generous, gracious and hospitable people that I have known personally and professionally; most of which I have worked with for at least 10 years.

I visit and stay in all Petite Paris B&Bs every year, and I love to share them with you for your own welcoming and intimate and cultural immersive Paris experience too. For anyone who wants to live like a local, connect with their local host and to explore Paris like a local too.

I also lovingly curate personalised Paris itineraries to suit your personal interests, ticking off all your must-see monuments combined with off-the-beaten track insider Paris places to ensure you have the most complete Paris experience.

Petite Paris is also a community of travellers from around the world who love French culture as well as making connections! I love meeting up with Petite guests whenever I am in Paris and the NEW Petite Paris Community Calendar is a way where Petite guests can connect with each other when they are in Paris and share a Paris moment together.

Petite Paris Homes

I proudly offer a handpicked handful and highly recommended selection of family-run traditional Parisian B&Bs, (and a few private apartments - read more here). I have worked with my hosts for 10-15+ years, they are like family to me and I know their homes, like the city, like the back-of-my-hand. It would be a pleasure to book you in - I promise, a friend, and a home that feels like your own awaits!

Ps even if you book one of the few self contained apartments available vs a classic B&B guesthouse, your host (home owner) will still reside either in the same building or nearby so you can always have that personal connection and human care, not to mention a local friend happy to meet you for a local wine.

Petite Paris Itineraries

It can be daunting searching ‘what to see and do in Paris’, so let me take the hard work out for you and curate your perfect Paris experience, day-by-day including your must see monuments as well as non-touristy, quirky, local and off-the-beaten-track places. It is my passion and joy to create these for you!

Petite Paris itineraries are interactive and live online so they can be edited at any time even while in Paris - you can tweak and reshape the plan as your day unfolds in Paris. It’s the perfect Paris Plan that allows for spontaneity, going off track, but returning to ‘the plan’ later if you wish!
