Our latest Paris press release!

Paris with Kids … and Lifts!

Introducing a ‘Petite Paris’ selection of Baby/Child Friendly B&B’s

and Access Friendly B&Bs!

Petite Paris now has over 18 B&Bs that are baby and young child friendly. Families too, can partake of the intimate B&B home-style accommodation that Petite Paris offers. Some of which are family households themselves, offering a variety of fun services such as home cooked meals, art classes, language lessons and even one child-minding service!

Our new search facility makes finding B&Bs that accept babies and children easy! They are offered In various arrangements; cribs, beds and/or mattresses depending on the B&B and at various costs starting with FREE …for the really itty bitty ones!

For guests on the mature side of life (or for those that are less mobile)…we now have a listing of ground floor only B&Bs and those with lift access only.

Petite Paris has made searching for a Paris apartment a little more personalised to suit the various needs and demands of our Australian guests, young and old!

Baby Friendly

One of our accommodating hosts is William at B&B369, offering a baby bed for FREE for babies up to 3 yrs and a small additional 20euro per night for children up to 10 yrs. View Williams B&B here!

Genevieve’s B&B is in the 7^th arrondissement, home of the Eiffel tower, she offers child minding services for couples who want a night out on the town at 10euro per hr. View Genevieve’s B&B here:

Access friendly

We’re never going to solve the space/access issue that is Paris! So we’ve tried to make it easier to find the 28 B&Bs we have that are most easily accessible, into one search page. Most Paris apartments have no lifts (unless renovated in the last 10 years) and are all extremely compact. For the less mobile or elderly we suggest this list (as well as entering the apartment easily we’ve also considered the design of the interiors i.e. no loft-style, split level, mezzanine B&Bs here).

lets play the Paris Game...

...it goes "if i were in paris right now where would I be?" ... 

I'd be a total Owen Wilson in the movie  'midnight in paris' and frequenting any of hemingway's cafe haunts, trying to feel intellectual and parisian HAHAHA! One very cosy cafe i loved for its atmosphere was Les Pres aux Clerc, on rue bonapartre a stunning historic area in the St Germain des Pres, perfect people watching, quintessentially old world paris!

antique window shopping in Paris

Parisian chic on a budget? then visit the fabulous Saint Ouen flea market...antique HEAVEN!! actually maybe NOT so budget !! but better than buying antiques from a boutique. Get up early, grab a coffee and takeaway baguette and head to the Nth of Paris ... stroll through this magical maze of antique stall after antique stall...amazing!!! (metro stop: Porte de clignancourt)

...birdie tells me some parisian hotels often have secret sales in their basements when they are refurbishing...imagine the amazing pieces you would find there!! Though likely still expensive and you probably have to be an 'insider-sider' (LOL) to hear about them :) ok who do i have to kill! still it's nice to dream so here you go :) ...

polka dot paris

one of my favourite B&B lounge rooms!!...yes its might look small and 'nothing special' but sometimes its the understated less extravagant homes that capture me... and I cant say exactly why or what it is... but this one's def cosy ... and i think it has something to do with that little polka dot chaise with the purple legs over there... ha!!

 See the rest of the apartment here...here...or HERE!  (oh gosh i think i'm in my insane mood again)
