"Paris rewards those who look past the obvious. The best version of the city has always been in the arrondissements most visitors never reach."
Clé de Roy is for travelers who’ve already done Paris — who’ve seen the landmarks, waited in the lines, eaten at the Instagram-famous restaurants — and who are ready to go deeper.
The city’s real character lives in its arrondissements: in the boucher who’s been on the same corner for forty years, the wine bar with no sign, the courtyard you’d only know about if someone told you. Trevor knows those places, and the people in them.
Clé is the French word for key — a word with deep roots in the concierge world, and the right metaphor for what this service actually is: access to a Paris most visitors don’t find. Roy is Trevor’s middle name — and in French, the word for king. Not a claim, just a quiet promise about the standard of care.
Trevor has an instinct for finding exceptional hotels at rates that regularly surprise his clients. The goal is never the most expensive option — it's the most right one.
When you add contractual upgrades, daily breakfast for two, and hotel credits on arrival, the true cost of booking through Clé de Roy often comes in well below what you'd pay independently — for an experience that feels considerably more considered.
Whether you're planning a first trip to Paris or returning for the fifth time wanting something different, the approach is the same: a genuine conversation, a considered recommendation, and everything handled properly.
Trevor recommends the right hotel for how you actually travel — then books it with preferred partner benefits most guests never know to ask for.
Seven years of daily Paris life, distilled into honest guidance on neighborhoods, restaurants, and the places that don't make it into guidebooks.
The same trusted approach extends to the rest of France — Provence, the Riviera, Bordeaux, the Alps — and to select hotels internationally.
Trevor holds preferred partner status with a carefully chosen group of hotels. These aren't perks occasionally offered — they're contractually guaranteed on every qualifying booking.
Contractually guaranteed when available at check-in. Not a request — a standing agreement with the hotel.
For two, every morning. At properties where breakfast is an occasion, this alone represents significant value.
A credit applied on arrival — towards the spa, the restaurant, or whatever the stay calls for.
A note from Trevor precedes every stay. The hotel knows you before you arrive — and treats you accordingly.
For clients who want more than a great hotel, Trevor can arrange a set of curated experiences that turn a stay into something genuinely memorable. Each is available for an additional fee, arranged to your schedule.

Trevor came to Paris as a florist. His brand, Fleurs de Roy, became part of the city's hotel world — creating bespoke arrangements for some of Paris's most celebrated properties and the people who run them.
Those relationships — with hotel GMs, concierges, and the artisans who give Paris its character — are the foundation of everything Clé de Roy offers. The hotels Trevor recommends aren't chosen from a catalogue. They're properties he knows, and whose teams know him.
Trevor Roy · Paris
"I came to Paris for love, stayed for everything else, and haven’t looked back since."
Trevor started Landeau, a floral brand in Vancouver in 2014, fell in love, moved to Paris, and launched Fleurs de Roy — a more personal, intimate take on the flowers-delivered concept that found its way into some of the city's best hotels. Nearly seven years later, he's still here.
That background gave him something unusual: genuine friendships with the GMs, chefs, concierges, and makers who run the Paris most visitors never see. The hotels he recommends aren't from a list — they know him, and that changes how you're received.
His approach is to mix the high and the low. A five-star hotel paired with lunch at a market stall. A Michelin-starred dinner followed by a morning at the local brocante. The best things Paris has to offer are often free — you just need to know where to look.
Trevor works with Canadian and North American travelers through Fora Travel, one of North America's leading advisory networks.
There's no form that replaces a conversation. Tell Trevor where you're thinking of going, when, and what matters to you — and he'll take it from there.
