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, I adore all the homes and hosts whom I have developed the best most respectful, loving and trustworthy friendships and relationships with that I would love to share 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.
The Petite Paris service has naturally developed into a service that women know and trust, especially solo women travellers, however Petite Paris empowers ALL to come to Paris and be supported in a home and by a host that feels just like family, with an abundance of tips and itineraries to help you navigate the city safely and with confidence, like a local.
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 there is the NEW Petite Paris Community Calendar where all B&B guests staying in Petite homes can reach out to another if they want to meet up in the city too.

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. 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 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 cheese platter and wine if you wish.
Below are acouple of my short social media posts about the benefits and positive aspects of staying in an authentic family home vs a regular Hotel
