Personal Assistant · Saudi Clients
Your personal assistant in Paris,
for clients from Saudi Arabia.
Book & Smile is the personal assistant Saudi clients rely on in Paris: one trusted, bilingual person who handles the summer season and school holidays in Paris, residences opened and staffed before arrival, the maisons by private appointment and détaxe at departure, halal dining and prayer-aware schedules, private medical consultations, and business agendas in Paris for principals and their offices. Open every day, 8:00 to 20:00 Paris time — and 24/7 for members. You ask. We handle it.
Riyadh and Jeddah are 1 to 2 hours ahead of Paris. Paris keeps its own hours, its own language and its own paperwork — and none of it waits for you to arrive.
From Saudi Arabia, every French file — the visa appointment, the bank, the doctor, the school, the préfecture — takes a phone call in French during Paris hours, then a follow-up, then another. The distance turns simple tasks into weeks.
What if one trusted person in Paris carried the whole file for you, in your language, on your schedule?

Paris for Saudi families: the season, arranged in advance
Saudi families come to Paris in the summer and at the school holidays, often for several weeks, often with three generations and staff. The pleasure of the stay depends on what was settled before departure: a residence or suites that are ready and private, a chauffeur who knows the family, tables where the kitchen is halal or can be trusted to adapt, schedules that leave room for prayer and for a late dinner, and a doctor who can be reached on a Sunday. We arrange all of it in advance, confirm it in writing, and remain reachable every day of the stay.
Shopping is part of the season and is best done privately: appointments at the maisons and jewellers before the doors open, pieces held, fittings in a salon, détaxe completed correctly, parcels sent ahead. Our personal shopper handles the whole chain. Ramadan and Eid are planned around when they fall in the stay.
Principals and executives: business in Paris, handled
For principals, family offices and executives, Paris is a place of meetings, investments and consultations as much as of leisure. We prepare the agenda — meetings confirmed, interpreters where needed, private rooms for hosting, documents translated and legalised by sworn translators, the car between addresses — and we keep it to the hour. Medical consultations with Paris specialists are arranged discreetly, with second opinions and follow-up handled after departure.
Discretion, language and what we do not do
One dedicated contact, NDA on request, no names shared with third parties, nothing photographed or published. We work in English and French, with Arabic-speaking contacts on request for medical appointments, schools and household matters. We are not lawyers, bankers or a property agency: where regulated advice is needed, we coordinate the professionals you choose and make sure what was decided actually happens.

FAQ
Do you work with clients based in Saudi Arabia before they arrive in Paris?
Yes. Most Saudi clients brief us from Saudi Arabia, by WhatsApp or call, weeks before arriving. Visa appointments, documents, banking and the arrival itinerary are prepared so that Paris is operational on day one.
What languages do you work in?
We work in English and French, with Arabic-speaking contacts on request. France is handled in French; you are updated in writing in the language you choose.
What are your hours, given the time difference?
Riyadh and Jeddah are 1 to 2 hours ahead of Paris. We are open every day, 8:00 to 20:00 Paris time, for new requests — and 24/7 for members, so an urgent matter is never left to the next morning.
How does the engagement work, and is it discreet?
One-off assistance for a single file, or a monthly membership (Essential, Executive, Private Office) for ongoing support. Terms are agreed in a private consultation. NDA on request; one dedicated point of contact.
Can you prepare our residence before we arrive for the summer?
Yes. Opened, cleaned, staffed and stocked to your list, with household staff engaged under French rules and suppliers briefed, so that the first evening is simply dinner.
Can you arrange halal dining and private chefs?
Yes — restaurants whose kitchens are halal or adapt reliably, and private chefs at the residence for family dinners and hosting, with menus agreed in advance.
Do you have Arabic-speaking contacts?
Yes, on request — for medical appointments, schools, household staff and any situation where Arabic is preferred.
