Those experiences taught me something important: the most memorable trips are rarely built around famous landmarks alone. They are built around stories, people, places, and moments that feel personal.
Today, I bring together all of these passions through The Paris Host.
I create thoughtfully curated experiences for travelers who want more than a standard itinerary. Whether your interests lie in design, architecture, gastronomy, art, culture, antiques, shopping, or simply experiencing Paris through a local lens, my goal is to help you discover the city in a way that feels effortless, inspiring, and uniquely your own.
For design professionals, I also offer specialized experiences centered around Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week, combining sourcing support, showroom visits, trend insights, and a deeper introduction to the Paris design scene.
Paris is one of the most visited cities in the world, but there is a difference between visiting a city and truly experiencing it.
My role is to help you do the latter.

I'd love to hear what brings you here and help you create an experience tailored to your interests.

Meet your host
Hi, I'm Daniéla.
Born and raised in Paris, I've spent a lifetime exploring the city beyond its famous landmarks.
Long before The Paris Host existed, I was already the one friends, colleagues, and international visitors would call when they wanted recommendations on where to eat, what to see, which neighborhood to explore, or how to experience Paris in a more authentic and meaningful way.
Over the years, I realized that what people valued most wasn't simply a list of addresses. It was having someone who could understand their interests and curate the city accordingly.
That idea became the foundation of The Paris Host.
My professional background combines interior design, trend forecasting, and design curation. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with the world of interiors, attended Maison&Objet professionally, followed emerging trends, and developed a deep appreciation for the creative industries that make Paris such an inspiring destination.
At the same time, my curiosity has always extended far beyond design. For several years, I ran a culinary blog dedicated to discovering exceptional restaurants and food experiences. This passion eventually led me on a personal journey across France, exploring regional cuisines, local artisans, and the cultural traditions that shape the country's identity.
