Personalised Paris

Since 2009

Petite Paris is a curated travel experience designed by Australian resident Regina Ferreira, Paris B&B expert of over 17 years, for travellers who want to experience Paris through genuine local connection rather than tourism. Guests stay with carefully handpicked Parisian hosts in their B&Bs, while also receiving personal guidance, neighbourhood recommendations, and access to a growing community of like-minded travellers.

For solo travellers in particular, Petite Paris offers a sense of belonging through host relationships, introductions, community meet ups and opportunities to connect with others travelling independently. The goal isn’t simply to visit Paris - its to feel a part of it! Though Petite Paris welcomes ALL - couples, families, men, women - anyone wanting to experience something MORE connected when they travel.

Authentic Paris B&Bs

Handpicked B&Bs with professional and friendly hosts, support and personalised services and experiences. Classic Guesthouses, or self contained studios or apartments with host support.

For travellers who know their story is not written in a hotel room but in the lives they meet. That connection in a B&B trumps hotel comforts. And that real travel is about culture and connection not convenience.

Hi there, bonjour, I’m Regina, Australian based (Portugal born), Paris B&B expert over 17 years, featured in The Weekend Australian, The Age, Cosmo Bride and Virgin Voyeur & more.

I love offering my handpicked collection and intimate network of incredibly charming and authentic Paris B&Bs - residential family run B&Bs (Chambre d’hotes ie traditional guesthouses) as well as apartments - with the kindest, most generous, hospitable hosts that are like family to me, and who will be to you too.

My deep personal relationships with them will translate over to you, I promise. You are not just a number coming through an automated platform, this is a very human heart-centred service. A service for anyone who wants an intimate personalised REAL experience of Paris and who wants to live like a local in a REAL home, to experience a family-style intimate experience of everyday Paris life, to connect with their local Parisian host like a long-lost friend; and to explore Paris like a local too.

I visit and stay in all Petite Paris B&Bs every year and I am always on the hunt for new homes to keep adding to the catalogue - BUT this is not a numbers game, I only add a new home when it and the host aligns perfectly with the Petite Paris ethos for 100% hosted quality care, charming presentation, and personalised care and service. Hosts who go the extra mile to offer you more than just a key, but friendship and support.

Petite Paris is the perfect way to experience the true intimacy of Paris for anyone - couples, families etc, - but especially for solo travellers getting a sense of belonging, acceptance, warmth and complete cultural immersion. We all know how solo travel can often feel lonely, especially in a city like Paris which lets be honest, resists foreigner in its own special artful way (haha) …so Petite Paris is here to change that into a movement around building a travel community so Paris travellers always feel not only welcomed, but AT HOME in the city… offering services, and community features where you can meet other solo Paris travellers.

You CAN travel SOLO without feeling alone!

You CAN meet Parisians who are incredible genuinely friendly….In fact the tale that Parisians are unfriendly is a myth. They ARE the FRIENDLIEST people, you just need to stay in an authentic way that allows you to connect with them…rather stay like another tourist consuming their city, just one of the masses getting in the way of every day life - eeeek! And the best way to achieve this is to start with a real Parisian home. Staying in their home is an immediate portal into the their private and friendly most hospitable world!

Visit my Petite Paris Community Calendar! - This is where the Petite Paris community grows and where travellers from around the world staying in Petite Paris homes can casually connect too, while they are in the city and plan their own meet ups.

OR Sign up to one of the Curated Solo Traveller Meet Up Trips scheduled throughout the year.

OR sign up to the Premier Petite Paris Package - a VIP service where Petite B&B hosts come together to offer you guidance and personalised services throughout your stay in Paris to get you confident and settled in Pars quickly.

As a lifelong solo traveller, and Paris lover, I would LOVE to encourage anyone dreaming of solo travel to Paris, to take the plunge with Petite and book with me!

See you in Paris, I hope.

The Petite Paris Homes

I proudly offer a handpicked handful and highly recommended a small boutique selection of family-run traditional Parisian B&Bs, (and a few private apartments where owners live nearby so you still get that personal connection and a local friend to enjoy a local wine - read more here), which I visit annually to ensure homes always meet the Petite Paris Quality of standard,

I have worked with my hosts for 17+ 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!

Here are a few social media snippets about my Petite Paris B&B and apartment life!
