Since 2009
Hi, I’m Regina, Australian based, Paris obsessed B&B specialist of over 16 years, featured in travel publications such as The Weekend Australian, The Age, Cosmo Bride and Virgin Voyeur.
I offer a handpicked selection of incredibly charming and authentic Paris B&Bs. Authentic B&Bs (known as Chambre d’hotes in French) are residential family homes, ie traditional guesthouses and the hosts I work with are the kindest, most generous, gracious and hospitable people that I have known personally, most of which I have worked with for over 15 years. I visit and stay in all Petite Paris B&Bs every year, I adore all the homes and hosts and I highly recommended all these homes to anyone going to Paris wanting to seek an intimate cultural immersion experience staying in a genuine B&B with so much charm and intimacy and who also want to explore Paris like a local.
I also lovingly curate personalised Paris itineraries to suit your personal interests to ensure you see all your must-see monuments, combined with off-the-beaten track charming insider Paris places to ensure you have the most authentic and intimate Paris experience possible as well; exploring and enjoying the city like a local.
The Petite Paris service has a strong focus on Women in Paris with predominately women run B&Bs. Petite Paris empowers women to come to Paris and be supported with a home and host that feels just like family, with an abundance of tips and itineraries to help them navigate the city safely and with confidence, like a local. Though ALL are welcome at Petite Paris!
Petite Paris is also a community of travellers from around the world who love French culture as well as making connections! I love to meet up with my guests whenever I am in Paris and introducing them to one another too, bringing everyone together to help them experience Paris authentically is my happiness. There is a Petite Paris Community Calendar where all B&B guests staying in Petite homes, can reach out to each other and meet up in the city for support company and friendship too.

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 completely interactive and live online and can be fully editable at any time even while you are on the streets of Paris - 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 - read more here) 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 your own awaits!
Ps even if you book one of the few self contained apartments in the catalogue vs a classic B&B guesthouse, your host (home owner) 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 if you wish.
Do you want to be a B&B Host?
This is an invitation to local Parisians who embody the 'perfect host gene’ and want to host my Australian and International guests in their homes. Hosts who are in it for the genuine care of traveller experiences above all else.
In fact this is also an invitation to any Petite Paris Guests who may be inspired to open a B&B in their own corner of the world, to host Petite Paris guests (or Petite Paris hosts) too. The world is our oyster my dearest Petite Community and together we can travel the world and host each other. Pourquoi Pas?!
