About
Paris is home.

My name is Gabriel. I was born in Paris, grew up here and have lived here all my life. I know its streets like the back of my hand: the neighbourhoods where you eat well, the terraces where you linger, the boutiques where you find what you are looking for, the places that go out of fashion and those that never change.
I have seen Paris from every angle. Grand restaurants and neighbourhood bistros, museums in the morning and rooftops at sunset, quiet Sundays and nights that end late. A whole life learning the city, which I now put at the service of your stay.
I am also French-Romanian. I speak Romanian, French and English, and I regularly go back to Romania on holiday. I know both sides: the best of Paris, and what a Romanian traveller really expects from it. The language, the habits, the way of welcoming people.
That is why I created Dor de Paris. So that a Romanian traveller finds someone in Paris who speaks their language, prepares everything before they leave and stays reachable until the last day. Not one more middleman: someone from here, who welcomes you as if you were at home.

Why « Dor »
DOR, doruri, s. n.
A tender longing to return to a place or a loved one. A Romanian word that other languages translate poorly.
“Dor de Paris”: longing for Paris. What you feel when you leave, and the reason you come back.
« Dor » is a Romanian word that other languages translate poorly: the tender longing to return to a place or a loved one.
I wanted a name that says both: the Romania you carry with you, and the Paris you long to come back to. Dor de Paris is the place you come back to.
