A trip to the City of Light is certain to dazzle should you tap into the expertise of our Navigator extraordinaire, Olivier Dubray
Navigator Biography
Some people fall into a career in hospitality, others make it their life’s work. Olivier Dubray is most definitely one of the latter. A Navigator of over seventeen years and a member of the Clefs d’Or association, which only admits elite-level concierges, the native Frenchman takes pride in making guests at the Renaissance Le Parc Trocadero Hotel “feel like Parisians and not like an ordinary tourist” – scouting the Parisian lifestyle magazines and using his local knowledge to ensure their trip to Paris plays out like it did in their dreams. Olivier’s own wanderlust is unquenchable. Originally from the north of France, he is inspired by the freedom and possibility of travel. His own voyages often take him as far as Africa, where he resists the tourist trails in order to experience life as a local and spot some rare wild animals. You will struggle to find any lions or zebras roaming free in Paris, of course, but Olivier seems pretty head-over-heels with the City of Love, too. He is particularly taken with the “chic and bourgeois atmosphere” of the 16th district where he works. A typical day begins with a brisk espresso at "Carette" (“a nice tearoom on Trocadero square”) and ends with a glass of wine at Flow on the Seine. Sandwiched between is, well, a sandwich, or a baguette at La Petite Marquise to be more precise. Oh, the good life…
