Discover the Best Pet-Friendly Airbnbs in Paris

If you have a four-legged family member who's a key feature of your travels, finding pet-friendly accommodation is undoubtedly a key pre-holiday priority. Finding the perfect place to stay in Paris when you are avec chien need not be stressful – we're here to show you Plum Guide's amazing alternatives to pet-friendly Airbnbs in Paris that you'll love.

Paris isn't all about love and romance. Although there's certainly no shortage of romantic places to stay, this city is perhaps best shared with a faithful furry friend. Fancy a nice meal while you're out with your pooch? No problem. Restaurants not only allow you to take your dog inside, some will even let them sit at the table. For a quintessentially French dining experience for both you and your dog, try out La Fontaine de Mars.

In theory, food shops don't allow pets inside, but this rule seems to be widely disregarded – a dog sitting happily in the shopping trolley isn't an uncommon sight. You can take pets on public transport too, making it easier to travel around Paris without leaving your animal at home. On the metro, trams and buses your pet must be transported inside either a carrier or a tote bag. This rule applies to all animals from small hamsters and ferrets right up to cats and dogs. If your pet is too large for you to carry around (don't even think about putting your labrador into an Ikea carrier, it won't end well), you're best off finding other ways to get around Paris. The RER trains have slightly different rules and allow large dogs, providing they are leashed and wearing a muzzle. This is because these trains are generally larger, with more space inside to accommodate bigger pets. However, you will need to buy a ticket for any pet that isn't being carried - at child rate, thankfully.

From the outside, A Secret Garden is an urban oasis with its lush gardens, glass conservatory and old world charm. Once inside, you'll discover a treasure trove of trinkets and antiques amongst plenty of space to relax as a family or on your own. Your location is minutes away from some of the neighbourhood's most popular squares, meaning you can head out and embrace Paris like a true local.

Situated close to Parc Buttes-Chaumont, this is one of the best pet-friendly apartments in Paris thanks to such an expanse of green space right on your doorstep. Back to Flower Powers itself – a beautiful and spacious loft spacious enough to accommodate a group of family or friends looking to enjoy the city in style.

Full of vintage style and charm, Rhodanthe is a minimalist one-bedroom apartment nestled in an old 19th-century 'hôtel particulier' is the perfect mix of old meets new. Situated in the trendy South Pigalle neighbourhood (or SoPi if you want to sound like a local) is fast becoming Paris' favourite place-to-be, so be sure to spend time exploring the amazing shops, restaurants and bars around this part of town.

This studio between Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower stands out thanks to its charm and elegance. Decorated with Feng Shui principles in mind, it evokes a feeling of peacefulness, making it the perfect choice for a couple in search of tranquility and romanticism. With its very central location you'll easily be able to discover Paris on foot with your four-legged friend, making it one of our best homes for those in search of pet-friendly Airbnbs in Paris.

There's so much to love about The Designer Mezzanine that we're not quite sure where to start. The mix of old and new materials and furniture gives this home an eclectic feel while the layout makes it a perfect space for families. Location wise, you really can't get much better with one of the most coveted areas in Paris – trendy Canal Saint Martin – right on your doorstep.
