Personalised Paris, Since 2009…
Hi, I’m Regina, (Australian based) Paris obsessed expert, Paris guidebook author and Paris B&B specialist of over 15 years, featured in numerous travel publications such as The Weekend Australian, The Age, Cosmo Bride and Virgin Voyeur. View Publicity.
I lovingly curate personalised Paris itineraries to suit your personal interests (no tourist traps, just the off-the-beaten track charming insider Paris places) to ensure you have the most authentic Paris experience possible, exploring the city like a local. I also offer a handpicked selection of incredibly charming and authentic Paris B&Bs - family homes and traditional guesthouses with incredibly kind hosts that I have worked with for over 15 years and that I visit and stay in annually; all of which I highly recommended to my guests.
The service has a strong focus on WOMEN in PARIS! Being a woman run service, with predominately women run B&Bs, Petite Paris is here to empower women, particularly solo women to come to Paris and be supported with a home and host that feels just like family, and an abundance of tips to help them (you) navigate the city safely and with confidence, and like a local. Though the service is all inclusive for couples, families, men and women, all genders, bien sur.
I also love to meet up with my guests while staying in their beautiful Paris homes - its my favourite part of the service to meet you in Paris, forming friendships in person over a wine or un cafe au lait, creating Petite Paris community with travellers from around the world!
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 dive into my ‘little-black-book’ of unique Paris places and curate your perfect Paris experience, day-by-day with mostly non-touristy, more quirky, local and off-the-beaten-track places. It is my passion and joy to create these and I have been visiting Paris every year since 2009 for months at a time, so my ‘little-black-book’ is not so little!
These Paris itineraries are live online and can be fully editable - so you can tweak to suit your pace, or simply reshape the plan as your day/s unfold. It’s the perfect Paris Plan that allows for spontaneity, going off track, but returning to ‘the plan’ later if you wish!

Petite Paris B&Bs
I proudly offer a handpicked handful of family-run traditional Parisian B&Bs, (and a few private apartments) highly recommended to complete your intimate, cultural immersion experience. I have worked with my hosts for 15+ years, they are like family to me and I know their homes, like the city, like the back-of-my-hand. I inspect and staying in the homes every year in Paris for quality control and assurance and always post updates on the homes as I check in on them! It would be a pleasure to book you in - I promise, a friend, and a home that feels like home in Paris awaits!
Ps even if you book a self contained apartment vs a classic B&B guesthouse, your host will 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 cheese platter and wine.
