Her two older sisters, Camille and Julie, have both competed in paddling. Julie won gold in the C1 event at the 2012 Wildwater World Championships in La Plagne, France. (ouest-france.fr, 29 Jan 2021; damedesport.com, 04 May 2021; ICF, 27 Jun 2012)

Her father was a kayaking coach and her two older sisters were competitive paddlers, and she followed them into the sport. "Canoeing is a family affair for the Paolettis. My parents met on the water and my sisters, Camille and Julie, were also on the French team. My first memories are at the water's edge. I practised other sports such as climbing, horseback riding or cycling but kayaking has always been a no-brainer. I love being on the water."
