PARIS (France) House with a big garden along the Seine !

A big garden along the Seine very near Paris !!!
Our house is spacious (150 square meters), bright and located in a very quiet neigbourhood. It is sided by a big (50 m²) wooden and sunny terrace facing south east where we have most of our meals from may to september with a barbecue. After the terrace , there is a big garden (650m2) with fruit trees, and lots of flowers and a corner where kids can play. From spring until autumn, the tree leaves hide most of the neibourghing buildings and one can almost forget the town !
On the ground floor there is a large living room/dining room with a big tv set, a large kitchen and WC. On the first floor, we have two kid's bedrooms with one or two beds each (adjustable ikea bed), a study  with 2 computers (free internet access) and a bathroom with shower over bath. On the second floor there is a big bedroom (with king size bed) and dressing. In the basement, there is washing machine, dryer and a bath,  cellar and a large game room for children with video system with a video projector and home cinema sound system ! 
We have made many exchanges (more than 45 !) where we have enjoyed a great welcome from our Intervac partners and we make a point to welcome them as best as we can. Also the house is organized in order to make our guests life easier.
