Petite Paris B&B apartment LOVE!!!


The apartment was brilliant thank you, both the service and the apartment. Mum loves it and so did we. The location was fantastic and especially because the Football was in so much quieter up the hill. The metro was so close as was Cafes the small supermarket and even the pharmacy. I hope to one day book again. Lisette was lovely. Thanks again so much for your lovely self ❤️ I have added some pics.
Thanks again
Guinevere

Paris comes to Melbourne, Australia

Paris in Melbourne

Gontran Cherrier
Boulanger/Patissier



OPENS IN COLLINGWOOD VIC



Lucky Melbourne folk! Our favourite Boulanger in Paris (also winner of best Paris Boulangerie) Gontran Cherrier opens his first Australian store in Collingwood at 122 Smith Street MAP
Signature cakes and breads have not lost their crispy deliciousness crossing the seas - yes we have already flown down to try them. Cafe too with breakfast and lunch menus, delicious, fresh and inexpensive. But beware of $5 croissants, they're worth it!

The perfect place to stay in Paris - is Not a hotel or someones random home

The perfect place to stay in Paris ... 
Midway between a generic hotel and someones spare rooms lies a GEM of an accommodation service :) 


Petite Paris B&Bs
The perfect mix of REAL LOCAL HOME, REAL LOCAL EXPERIENCES in a PROFESSIONAL QUALITY SETTING and SERVICE.

 
In Paris if you don't want another generic hotel and rather have the local experience and expertise, a home listing website sounds perfect! But what's missing from Airbnb (sorry-not-sorry to point fingers) 

1. No one to inspect homes 
2. no one to maintain quality control 
3. No standard or selection criteria 
4. no customer service/ help if things go wrong 
5. No human help in the booking process. 

 



Paris travellers dont be blind to the the risks of such sites, as tempting, trendy or easy as they seem, we hope you remember good old fashion booking services, personal human run services who CARE about the homes they list (personally seek, select and manage) because we care about our guests and giving the BEST 100% professional polished boutique B&B service and care while still being in a REAL home. 

That's what Petite Paris is! only the most unique small selection of authentic homes, quality homes w 100% style, service satisfaction with Parisian hosts who have been in the PROFESSIONAL B&B world over 10 years. And why would you want to stay anywhere less than Parisian!!. Afterall it is the birth place of B&B classic hospitality :) We really are the perfect midpoint between stiff hotel and someones unclean house or room. As you were... thanks for listening!AND VISIT THE WEBSITE

DIY Walking Tour of Paris - 12eme arrondissement, The REAL Paris

Petite Pariscope
'Monthly Paris Tips'

DIY Walking Tour - 12eme
Discovering the 12eme /Bercy neighbourhood of Paris



The 11eme of Paris is a gem waiting to be explored. An authentic Paris neighborhood with all the quaintness and charm (and local bustling cafe life) like any other area but with less tourists. A tranquil place to enjoy the real and unexpected Paris, a greenery Paris, a magical and hidden historic Paris. On us!

9am Boulangerie Bo - begin with a coffee (after breakfast at your B&B of course), and take some crispy pastry treats at the beautiful Boulangerie Bo - famous for its Millefueille, pistachio danish and Chocolate tart (get extras to take away) MAP



9.30am Rue Crimeaux -  That not-so-secret street that pops up in the 'unusual places of Paris' lists - and that is a MUST to be seen. Colourful strip of historic homes will have you feeling like you are in a typical pastel coloured provence village. MAP



10am Parc de Bercy
- The fascinating Le Parc de Bercy is a group of three connecting gardens featuring fishponds, dunes, 95 rose varieties, open lawn areas shaded by tall trees, small pavilions, covered seating, playground, carousel, secluded spaces, small hills, sunken sitting areas. A cosy place to sit and enjoy the greenery. The lake house often has exhibitions too.  MAP



11.30am Bercy Village - Just off the Parc de Bercy is Becy village, a newly developed chic covered shopping strip "Cour Saint Emilion" with many restaurants, bars and cafes built into the old wine warehouses  MAP



12.30pm Lunch at Les Caveaus de Reuilly  - MAP
Enjoy a cheese charcuterie plate at Les Caves de Reuilly. We love this place and rate it the friendliest outdoor casual terrace. Close to Bercy yet an out-of-the-way location in Paris ensuring an ambience worlds apart from the bustle and hype of central neighbourhoods: here instead are bands of quality-conscious, budget-conscious Parisians, enjoying honest, inexpensive (wide selection) wine and each other’s company. French craft beer too.



1.30pm Coffee at Felix Cafe - Just up from for Les Caves de Reuilly enjoy a post lunch coffee at this typically charming brasserie. You may get lucky with a live band performance, or sit inside for a gorgeous atmosphere - MAP

2.30pm Jardin de Reuilly - Paul Pernin - this garden and public park is just off the promenade plantee (Paris' landscaped highline walk along the old Bastille to Vincennes railway). In Summer it is a gorgeous place to sit in the sun along with the other Parisians with wine. MAP



4pm Le Musee de Arts Forains - A unique carnival museum, quite literally a fairground held in an old winehouse in Bercy village with funfair objects, 16 fair stalls and restored attractions, merry-go-rounds, carousels, German swings, hundred-year-old bicycles, Japanese billiards, amusement rides, the famous Parisian waiter race and more, objects dating 1850-1950. MAP



6pm Le Baron Rouge - Aperitif hour = drinks at this nearby classic bistrot famous for having the largest selections of wines in Paris, and the funnest atmosphere where patrons spill out onto the street being served wine and street musicians MAP



7pm Le Train Bleu - We're gong to let the picture do ALL the talk for this one. But we will add: classic French Fare, delicious, suprisingly not expensive and child friendly, located in the Gare De Lyon train station and open 7.30am - 11pm daily MAP



Or TRY: La Biche au Bois - a perfect intimate French bistrot serving French dishes at bargain prices, if you’re looking for the rare combination of good food and atmosphere, and modest prices, no tourists, intimacy, family feel. MAP



9pm  NUBA Paris - Cheekily cross the Seine to what is technically the 13th arrondissement to this Seine-side rooftop bar, a modern design venue with buzzing atmosphere, lounge areas. live music MAP



OR
Petit Bain - For some live music and concerts (and rooftop bar) on a floating 'boat'. Fun, atmospheric and unusual. Check their website www.petitbain.org for shows MAP
