I exchange my charming flat in the center of Paris. It's a lovely 2 rooms apartment, very quiet (view on a courtyard with figtrees) and nicely decorated. One bedroom with a double bed, a living room with a sofa (ok for a young child to sleep on - but the apartment is really meant for two people). The bathroom was recently nicely renovated !
WIFI access, phone with a number of callfree countries (thanks to the ADSL), washing machine.
Cleaning lady available on request.
Very friendly neighborhood. There's also a concierge in the building who sometimes plays the accordeon !
“Pauline's apartment is just perfect: very nice decorated, comfortable and pleasant. The area is the best, calm and near to everything. And as a person she is now a friend for me. First day came to pick me up at the station, showed me everything... delightful. Also treated my apartment really well and I'm so happy to have done this swap with her! Can't wait for the next!”
“Back home from Paris, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the success of an exchange we made with Pauline. Her house was absolutely delightful, bright and colorful, quiet as you would never imagine in the heart of Montparnasse. Some fig trees cast shadows on the courtyard of the building, and it is amazing to think that these trees were likely the very same that world famous painters of the turn of the XIX century used to see every day from the windows of their ateliers overlooking the same courtyard. A real pleasure, beyond the pleasure of being in Paris, made even more enjoyable by the kindness and the charm of Pauline. Thanks, Pauline!”
I'm a free lance film editor, I love travelling, especially to Italy, but I'm very curious and opened to any suggestions ! I am very respectful and careful of other people' s homes. I can take care of your plants while you're away. I'm a non-smoker, and unfortunately (because I love them) allergic to cats and dogs... I will be glad to give you many an advice on Paris, my beloved city. I've lived here more than 15 years now and it has no secrets for me !
As a free lance I'm often flexible in terms of dates. I also like travelling for long week ends in big european cities (London, Rome, Torino)... I've often let my appartment to friends of mine and they've all loved it... ! You can also have a look at my recommandations.
I like to get to know people with whom I exchange my home before, by emailing or phoning. Especially for overseas swaps !
If you are used to riding a scooter I can let you use mine in exchange for your scooter/car.
There's also an excellent rent-a-bike system called VELIB in Paris, you'll find stations all over the town (four of them in my area)
Please don't hesitate to contact me.
2011/2012 : from november to february, I'm open to short european breaks (great cities such as LONDON, ROME etc...) or one week swaps : I have a few weeks vacation (one in the beginning of december, two around Xmas) and would either love to go to Italy OR overseas for some SUN (such as Carabeean etc...)
Then I'll have some free time in MAY, JULY and AUGUST, and will be looking exclusively for sea, sun and ITALY (preferably SICILY). In July though I will be renting my flat because I myslef will be renting a house in Italy. If you are interested in July, it would then be for renting.
For the time being, no AUSTRALIA, no GERMANY, no CANADA. Thanks !
The flat is two steps away from the beautiful Jardins du Luxembourg, one of the most beautiful city parcs in the world. I go there to run a few times a week. There's a very friendly and typical parisian café-restaurant just at the door, where people of the neighbourhood meet. A little further (two steps away really !), you'll find a series of great famous parisian Brasseries, among which "la Closerie des lilas", "la Coupole", "le Select". Two metro stations nearby (Vavin, Raspail), one bus station ( BUS 91 towards Bastille) and the RER B (that goes directly to Charles de Gaulle airport). Also nearby (on place Denfert-Rochereau, one subway station away or 10 minutes walk) the bus to go to the Orly Airport. Shops and market down the street. There's even a famous BIO market on sundays. Very good restaurants too, and theatres, and cinemas... ! I speak FRENCH/ITALIAN/ ENGLISH. No smoking+no pet environment.
Grand appartement au centre de paris proche du métro et de tous les musées. Le quartier attire les amoureux des ballades à pieds et de bons restaurants, il y...
Our apartment was renoveted in 2016 in a Parisien spirit.
Terrace of 32 square meters with exceptional view on all Paris. Between Denfert-Rochereau and Alésia in a busy shopping district.
