My first Solo traveller is HERE - it's lovely Heidi 💛 Heidi was part of the first Solo Meet Up this year & she's already signed up for the next - March 18-24, 2027! And she's also returning to the same B&B Monique - her Petite Paris home! 💛✨ Lovely, you made my day, Im soooo ecstatic I get to reunite with you 🙏

And this is Heidi at the antique flea markets, holding a ceramic she found while on the Solo Meet Up, that turns out to be from her own families's pottery lineage.

Suddenly spotting her own families Wedgewood China was a surreal moment, she couldn't believe it, and in that moment I knew this wasn't Heidi just having a travel service experience, it was her having a life moment, one of those personal travel serendipities that no body and no travel service could ever engineer. The little (loud) affirmations from the universe telling you, YES! you're in the right place!

In fact Heidi had LOTS of meaningful serendipitous ah-ha moments in Paris that week it was almost uncanny. As an aspiring artist, a solo traveller advocate, paris was definitely speaking to her the entire trip in spooky ways we kept freaking out about... & she left paris not just wanting to return one day, but to make Paris part of her life design, and here she is, making it happen!!

I am sooooo curious and excited to see what Paris brings her next as she picks up where she left off, her new found solo relationship with the city, seeing where the city takes her, and all it has to show her...

Because if Paris is speaking to you, then there is something there waiting for you too! I just know it. Come and find out, this is what Petite Paris is all about - it's DISCOVERING YOU in the city, as much as discovering the city!!

The link & full details for the next Meet Up in March is below in comments. And we, Heidi and I, would LOVE 2 or 3 more ladies to join us for beautiful intimate evening brasserie dinners, where we get to inspire each-other and share all of the serendipitous moments we encountered while doing our own thing in the city by day! It's going to be magic!

I have NO fear of failing, I only fear not trying!! But I also have NO fear of sitting alone for dinner in Paris if no one joins LOOL! But please come haha! I so hope to meet some new amazing solo travellers in Paris again. Last meet ups were seriously the BEST!!

One thing I forgot to mention (though I will be speaking more about the solo meet up curated experience & concept in the coming weeks as I keep inviting/searching for my ladies) is that ... this Meet Up (& all going forward) is for ANY solo traveller whether you are a first time solo in Paris traveller, or a returning solo traveller to paris, or seasoned solo Paris traveller 💛✨ Solo is the only prerequisite 🤗

But if you ARE a first timer then you get to experience the city completely authentically solo by day (we are not taking away from the true essence & magic of learning/growing completely on your own) but you might love the idea of having some friends at the end of the day for meals for connection & friendship (all optional in the moment) AND if you're a regular or seasoned solo traveller then, this might just be something beautiful to add to your Paris experience & the connections you may already have in the city.

Petite B&B Host's may join us for some meals when they can because my friends are your friends in Paris, & you never know you may just find your next perfect Host in Paris!

Did I say I'm soooo excited??? I think this amazing Aussie spring weather has got me in all the productive feels. It's time to plan for Paris, time to plan the next official Petite Paris SOLO meet up!!

And OMG Im already feeling soooo proud of the ladies who join, but not proud in the usual way its more like HONOURED that they would choose THIS. Choose Petite and choose Me 🥹 And btw I choose you too!
*My little self just peeked her forehead out of her cardboard hidy-hole wondering who's arriving...trips over running out to hug them)

Aaand I'm already crying! 😭Seriously Why?! LOL Bring tissues & your laughter & even your rusty French, mine still sucks. This isn't about being perfect, or getting it right (even with all the Paris 'rules', just be you! So if you've been nervous too, know that you're safe here!

Lets GOOOO!! Paris is calling us, can you hear her? Because I Can! & she's NOT quiet 🤫 😆

Bonjour Petite Paris family, love from Peet and Femke in Paris 💛✨ This is one of my fave Petite Stories... Femke is a B&B guest & now she works at B&B Peet. Peet was looking for a breakfast server assistant & I knew Femke was a baker dreaming of her own part-time Paris life. Et voila! The Petite network, family & connection grows, & Femke is who you may see at the breakfast table when you book Peets B&B, and I think thats just Magic!! ✨💛

This is 2 nights ago when Peet took Femke out to Bouillon Julien for her Birthday - they sent me this photo & my heart danced! Im waving back madly!

Peet is a humble wholesome B&B host, already we have 12 yrs together, But I truly adore how he has taken Femke under his hospitality wing, because she was naturally nervous at first but I hear, she is a force in the kitchen & with the guests now...

But I knew that about Femke soon as we met, she found me sitting at a cafe in Montmartre and yelled out "OMG its you Petite Paris" and came straight for me, sat next to me, before I even knew what was going on - & I was glad 💛 Plus, any woman who can put on eyeliner without a mirror in the middle of a Paris Brasserie without a care who's watching is a woman who knows her self & a woman after my own heart LOL

That doesn't mean she wasn't nervous starting her B&B job, she was, but thats the thing confidence doesn't start from being perfect & getting it right, it comes from being ok to make mistakes and be vulnerable anyway...

And, this is what happens when you travel. When you DO THE THING. You never know who you're going to meet, what opportunities are going to pop up...

But you have to be like Femke and when those opportunities land, reach out and grab it full heartedly like she did, even through the fear. We all say we want change but then when change arrives do we take it is the question...

Anyway this is the result when you do. A connection made between this Solo lady traveller and my B&B host Peet, & thats SO Petite!!!

Femke, cant wait to catch up with you again in Paris. Peet, buddy, See you in March ✨💛

Peets B&B has its doors open for 2027!! Bookings happening Now 🙏 https://petite-paris.com/bb-peet

These are 7 Petite Paris B&Bs that 7 incredible solo travellers have selected for their solo Paris sojourns 💛✨ But... I actually have 13 solo travellers who have just booked too so who wants a part 2 showcasing the homes that they have selected as well, and why?? because this was so much fun to put together and just to speak to the individual homes nd how perfect they are for individual solo travelling needs..

Because every home, every host, every match is different. And that's exactly the point. More than accommodation — Petite Paris is a personal home and host matching service. Connection is at our core, and so is honouring the solo independent traveller who wants Paris on their own terms.

If you'd like help finding your perfect match, DM me. That's what I'm here for :)

Im SO excited for all these Petite B&B Guest to arrive and have an amazing moment in Paris one that's gonna have so much more meaning friendship connection and a genuine insight into Everyday Paris life and culture, than having just stayed in a hotel!!

And, if the ladies find one another well that's just a cherry on top of Solo travel I say!

All mentioned homes and hosts can be found on the Petite Paris website www.petite-paris.com 🙏💛✨

Are you booking for connection or just to feel social?

There's a difference and honestly both are valid. Lobbies are great to go for a drink, and I certainly still love to drop into the open ones, to see who you meet IF you meet, enjoy the buzz of being around people without the pressure, and just be an introvert in a social setting...

BUT if you actually DO want to proper connect with other women choosing Paris the way you, solo and independent but with open possibilities to connect with each-other when and if you intentionally choose to in the moment, (and still without any pressure) then Petite Paris IS your 'lobby'!

Bon voyage to our happy couple Janine and Ray from Melbourne Australia, who just vacated Apartment Alvin! I LOVED Janine and my little texts and emails leading up to their stay too, tips and advice as she planned their days and sightseeing! All the stuff you don't see in the backend of this Petite service that I love.

But here's the result, Happy guests and a beautiful home In Paris. Please come back SOON Janine and Ray, your Home in Paris is always going to be here for you now. ✨💛✨💛 And hope to catch you in Melbourne later in the years. Petite meet UP 🙏

PS Video of Apartment Alvin during the cozy winter when it may snow, because I think everyone is over the Paris heat 😆 BUT PS air-con is in this apartment - for anyone thinking of travelling next Summer ✨💛

I updated the webpage for Studio Francois over the weekend guys 💛 and while doing so I found Sheryls video from her Solo stay here in May for the Solo Meet UP Week! (Studio link is in comments)

And I realised that now, not only is Paris a place that feels like home to me, and not only are the Petite Paris homes and their hosts all home to me, but now ...Sheryl and all the incredible solo travellers that I met in those meet up weeks, feel like home to me too!

And Im not quite sure how that happened!! But i get emotional because I know these women aren't just guests anymore! They aren't just passing through - they are my Paris home too now!

Maybe it was all us likeminded, wanting to avoid the dreaded group tour vibes, to remain unapologetically solo yet still commit to the daily dinners to genuinely get to know each-other with zero pressure that did it.

Because we found this way to still keep our sacred solo experience, but in a way, shared it with other women who get it! And I think that feels like home!

And all it took was one meet up experience, one stay, one moment! But honestly thats just what Petite Paris is, not just the homes, and even more than the homes, is the travellers inside them!

Solo travel to Paris is extraordinary. But a solo meetup is what makes it feel like home. And I cant wait for the next!!

Studio Francois new webpage is up everyone, new pics inside and out!

ps And honestly, any group of women who are just as excited about the time that we're NOT meeting up as they are about the time that we ARE meet up each evening, are my kinda people LOL 😆💛
