Next to Paris, a lovely house - Open to exchange next summer! from july 30th 2024 - We are open to any destination!
We are a family of 4 members: Stéphane (54) and Charlotte (50) are Papa et Maman, and two children: Noé is a 15 years old boy, and Lucie is a 13 years old girl. We also have a cat and two hens (for eggs)
We live in a very friendly and quiet suburb, south of Paris. We have a garden and nice neighbors.
We live close to all the shops, parks with playgrounds, a public swimming pool and excellent restaurants. We love picking up fresh and good bread and croissants at the boulangerie on the weekends (a 3-minute walk).
The metro station is 5 minutes walk from our house. It takes 15 minutes to go to Paris and 20 minutes to Notre Dame de Paris and all the famous monuments. We are 25 minutes far from Versailles by car. And 15 minutes from Orly Airport.
We have many bicycles. We can also exchange our cars: a big family van (if we don't use it to go to your country of course…) and a small citadine. We can put baby car seats if needed.
It is the ideal place to visit Paris with a family. You can visit the city in the daytime and enjoy resting in a comfortable house at night.
The house was built in the 1930s. It's a typical Parisian house. We made a lot of buildings (wooden extension) in 2014. we have four bedrooms, one bathroom and one shower in the laundry room, and a kitchen open to the living room.
We've experimented home exchange 12 times with families from Sweden, Netherland, Ireland, Austria, Spain, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Belgium. We loved it!!
We are looking forward to exchanging with you!
