About

With a background in journalism and a deep affection for beautifully designed places, I launched Petite Passport back in 2010. The idea? To share my personal archive of inspiring addresses with the world. I figured I’d have it all online within six months. And yet, here we are, 16 years later, and new, inspiring places keep opening their doors, each one deserving a place on Petite Passport. And in your travel plans.

There’s no large team behind Petite Passport. Apart from a designer and a developer, it’s just me, visiting and photographing almost all places, sharing tips on Instagram, publishing the guides, writing the newsletter, making Design Stays and answering your mails. That’s it. I believe in the power of less, but better. You won’t find 1,000-point checklists here that spark a fear of missing out before your trip even begins. Nor will you find viral travel trends made for the masses. Petite Passport is about uncovering the discreet, design-led places you’d recommend to a friend. I do the legwork – research, walking miles, photographing spaces – so you can discover them with ease.

Enjoy Petite Passport – and I’d love to hear from you: whether it’s a question, a cool place you’d like to share, or a collaboration idea, reach out at info@petitepassport.com

Warm wishes, Pauline
