Paris & Provence, curated around the way you design.

Immersive design experiences in France for American interior designers, creative leaders and design teams.

Discover France through the lens of design, craftsmanship, architecture, sourcing and culture.

From curated sourcing trips and Maison&Objet experiences to creative retreats and private design immersions, The Paris Host creates personalized journeys for designers who want to experience France beyond the usual itinerary.

Come solo. Bring your team. Make it yours.

France, Through a Designer's Lens

France has always been a source of inspiration for the design world.

But experiencing French design is about much more than visiting beautiful places.

It's about understanding the materials, craftsmanship, architecture, objects and traditions behind them. It's about discovering the people who continue to shape French creativity today. And sometimes, it's about stepping away from the studio long enough to see your own work differently.

The Paris Host creates access to that world.

Based in Paris and rooted in the French design ecosystem, I curate experiences for American designers who want to explore France with intention, whether they're sourcing for a project, researching new ideas, looking for creative renewal or bringing their team together somewhere completely different.

Design Experiences, Designed Around You

No two designers work the same way, so no two experiences should look the same.

Choose one of our signature experiences or let us create something entirely customized around your practice, your project or your team.

Paris Design Immersions

Experience Paris beyond the postcard.

Explore architecture, interiors, decorative arts, design neighborhoods, craftsmanship, cultural institutions, design houses and the creative people shaping the city today.

A Paris immersion can be focused on a particular area of design or built as a broader introduction to the city's creative ecosystem.

Ideal for: individual designers, creative leaders and design teams.

Maison&Objet & Paris Design Week

Come to Paris during one of the world's most important design seasons and make the most of it.

Navigate Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week through a curated design perspective, with opportunities to discover emerging talent, established design houses, showrooms, materials, trends, craftsmanship and the creative conversations happening across Paris.

Your experience can combine industry events with private sourcing, showroom visits, cultural experiences and time to explore the city.

Ideal for: designers attending Maison&Objet, design teams and studios conducting design research.

Designers' Sanctuary

A creative retreat for interior designers.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your design practice is step away from it.

Designers' Sanctuary is a private creative retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your creative instincts and refill your visual and intellectual well.

Spend several days immersed in French design, architecture, art, craftsmanship, od and culture, with enough space to explore, reflect and simply experience.

Designers' Sanctuary can be created for one designer seeking a personal reset or for a small studio looking for a meaningful team retreat.

Ideal for: individual designers, creative directors, studio owners and design teams.

Provence Design Experiences

A different rhythm. A different source of inspiration.

Leave Paris behind and discover Provence through design, architecture, craftsmanship, antiques, materials, art, food and landscape.

Provence offers a different perspective on French creativity: more tactile, more connected to place and deeply rooted in local traditions.

Your experience can include design and architectural discoveries, artisan encounters, sourcing opportunities, cultural experiences and time to simply enjoy the South of France.

Ideal for: designers seeking creative inspiration, sourcing opportunities or a slower-paced retreat.

Sourcing Trips

Source with intention.

Whether you're looking for a particular piece for a project or want to explore new French suppliers and makers, a sourcing trip can be built around your specific needs. Explore:

• Vintage and antiques

• Furniture

• Lighting

• Textiles

• Decorative objects

• Materials

• French design houses

• Artisans and makers

• Independent studios

• Showrooms and trade resources

Your sourcing trip can be highly focused around a specific project or designed as broader research for your studio. And not every sourcing trip is about vintage. The goal is to connect you with the right resources for the way you design.

Custom Design Experiences

Have something else in mind?

Not every trip fits neatly into a category.

Maybe you want to combine sourcing with cultural discovery. Maybe you're planning a team retreat around Maison&Objet. Maybe you're researching French craftsmanship for a new project. Maybe you simply want to experience Paris in a way that reflects your own creative interests.

Tell me what you're looking for, and we'll build from there.

Custom experiences can be created for individual designers, creative leaders, small teams and design studios.

Come Alone or Bring Your Team.

You don't have to be a first-time visitor to benefit from a curated experience in France.

In fact, The Paris Host is particularly suited to designers who already know Paris and want to experience it from a different perspective.

If you've already built your own relationship with the city, bring your team.

Your studio can explore French design through:

DESIGN RESEARCH
Discover new references, materials, designers, architectural approaches and creative ideas.

SOURCING
Explore resources selected around your projects and design sensibility.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Meet artisans and discover the techniques and traditions behind French design.

CULTURAL IMMERSION
Experience the history, architecture, food and culture that shape the French creative landscape.

CREATIVE RENEWAL
Give your team space to step outside the everyday and return to the studio with fresh perspectives.

For Designers Who Already Know Paris

You don't need another generic Paris itinerary.

You need a reason to look at the city differently.

The Paris Host is designed for designers who are curious about what sits beyond the obvious: the atelier behind the object, the material behind the finish, the history behind the building, the maker behind the craft and the creative connections that can emerge when you approach a place with intention.

Whether you're visiting France for the first time or returning for the tenth, the experience can be designed around where you are in your creative practice.

How It Works

01 — Tell me what you're looking for

Share your dates, interests, projects, creative goals and whether you're traveling solo or with your team.

03 — Come experience France

Arrive with curiosity. I'll take care of the curation so you can focus on discovering, sourcing, learning and creating.

Paris Is Just the Beginning.

The Paris Host is rooted in Paris, but France has much more to offer.

From the creative energy of Paris to the landscapes and craftsmanship of Provence, each destination offers a different perspective on French design.

And because your experience is curated rather than packaged, we can combine destinations, themes and experiences around what matters most to you.
