A propos de
Maison Louvaret
Daphné
Daphné Paret embodies a sensitive, measured approach — one deeply anchored in respect for the bond between humans and animals. Founder of Maison Louvaret, she places her work within the lineage of an ancient relationship with the living world — a relationship that, in France, has been passed down through centuries, along forest paths, across country estates, and within noble dwellings. Throughout history, the dog has been a steadfast companion — a messenger, a sentinel, a confidant. Not by duty, but by presence. A presence that is attuned, discreet, and essential. It is within this silent memory — woven of early morning walks, of gestures transmitted, of unspoken legacies — that Daphné draws her inspiration.
A Singular JourneyRaised in a culture of care and meticulous attention, a former scout, she grew up in an environment where poise, precision of gesture, and respect for natural rhythm were cultivated. A singular corporeal reality — a stabilised spina bifida managed with a fixed valve — led her to develop an intimate relationship with slowness, observation, and the eloquence of silence. Far from a hindrance, this personal journey has endowed her with exacting resilience and a rare sensitivity to what lies beneath the visible. Her path has been nourished by journeys across continents: from Asia to Africa, and through the Americas. There, she refined her gaze, deepened her listening, and mastered the art of adaptability. She speaks French, English, and a few words of Arabic. These extended stays abroad taught her what dogs know instinctively: the precision of a gesture, the truth within silence, and the language of presence.
The Maison Louvaret VisionAt Maison Louvaret, the walk becomes a ritual — a suspended moment, stripped of mere functionality. The dog is never severed from its human; rather, it becomes a subtle extension — at times a mirror, often a revealer of truths. The relationship is rooted in trust. The voice — steady, measured, attentive — weaves the bond. It speaks without constraint. It guides without imposing. To care for a dog as one would for a child — with exactitude, commitment, and unwavering presence — this is the founding vision of Maison Louvaret. A vision wherein the animal remains wholly itself, with its own codes intact, yet where the human remains the keystone of connection — through stability, dedication, and the quality of the framework provided.
“Every dog deserves excellence, wherever it comes from. This is neither about prestige nor about luxury, but about a profound reverence for what is most truthful in life.”
« To grant every dog the regard reserved for the rarest of beings,
with the precision of an ancestral gesture and the tenderness of a voice that rings true. »
