“El verano de 2014 estuvimos en el maravilloso apartamento de Thierry y Chrystelle, pasamos unos días inolvidables, ya que la casa está situada en un tranquilo barrio de París muy cerca del metro. Tuvimos ocasión de conocer a toda la familia y son realmente encantadores, se han convertido en nuestros amigos parisinos para siempre. Estuvimos muy agusto en su cómoda casa y además nos recibieron con mucha hospitalidad y nos prepararon un montón de alternativas para visitar Paris. Los niños son realmente encantadores y muy bien educados y nos cuidaron la casa como si fuera la suya. Realmente recomendamos conocer a esta familia por su generosidad y buen humor que hacen de la experiencia todo un placer..”

Thierry & Chrystelle's reviews
As a host (4)“Our family in Ireland exchanged homes with Thierry and Chrystelle's family last July (2012). I cannot recommend them enough! Their apartment is absolutely lovely, charming, fresh, quiet, cozy and greatly located in Paris. Is it a spacious, artistic and colorful home with flowers on the window and everything that makes you feel nurtured and relaxed, after browsing the wonderful attractions in Paris the whole day in a hot summer. They are lovely people who took very good care of our house in the Irish countryside. We had a very nice and smooth communication before departing, they sent us the keys by mail and everything was absolutely perfect. Chrystelle was great and gave me a lovely book about Paris; Thierry cooked us a lovely dinner and left it in the freezer. On our arrival, we found a bottle of wine on the table with directions and many leaflets to the main spots in Paris. Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday! Hope we can do it again.”
“Nous gardons un excellent souvenir de notre premier échange de maison avec Chrystelle et Thierry. Leur appartement est spacieux et propre. Il est très bien situé. Le quartier est calme, très agréable, proche des commerces et stations de métro. Visiter Paris est alors très facile! Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la gentillesse,la convivialité et l'honnêteté de cette famille qui s'est si bien occupée de notre maison et de nos animaux. Une excellente communication, des petites attentions pour nous souhaiter la bienvenue et tout un tas de détails pour rendre notre séjour le plus agréable possible font de cet échange une expérience que nous recommandons vivement.”
“We exchanged homes with Chrystelle and Thierry last summer, and it was a beautiful experience. First of all, when we arrived late night in Paris, they had filled the fridge with delicious homecooked food - just for us. When we came back to Denmark, they had made us a very good curry chicken, ready to heat. It was so considerate of them. In hospitality they are super! - Furthermore, they took very good care of our home, which looked cleaner when we came home than when we left ;-) Their flat in Paris is very cosy and well decorated. Our youngest felt at home at once with all the toys, colours and nice things. The flat is very close to a metro station, so it's easy to get to the center of Paris in no time. That we did - very often. But we also enjoyed the local neighborhood very much! There was a park where the kids could play soccer. The area around the Mitterand Library is sooo nice. A huge park with sculptures, water, people excersicing tai-chi and all sorts of sports and dance. And we tried out some of the restaurants just around the corner, that Chrystelle and Thierry recommended. Good food, nice persons... We had two very nice weeks in Paris and give all our best recommendations to Chrystelle and Thierry as persons and to their lovely home in Paris.”
More about us
-
My wife Chrystelle and I (Thierry) have three children, 2 boys (Hugo 18 and Robin 23) and one girl (Mathilde, 20). Chystelle is a teacher and I work as a director for a social organisation (Emmaüs). We are both true Parisians and really enjoy living in this city offering so many opportunities, including for children. We spent 5 years in Germany and the United States for professional reasons and we really like to travel and spend time abroad. We think that swapping homes is a great way to travel and discover other cultures. We have already experienced it several times in Spain, Corsica, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and The Netherlands, and we really enjoyed it !!! And meeting our "swappers" was each time a wonderful experience! Now we want to be surprised by any proposition in Europe, France included! We no longer travel with our children, since they now tend to plan their own holidays with friends of theirs. So it's just the two of us!

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
The location is perfect, especially for families. Our flat is indeed located in a very peacefull and safe area, next to a charming typical Parisian park with playgrounds for children and close to two swimming pools (a 3mn and a 7mn walk). You can buy your groceries (high quality meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, wine, organic food and products) from typical Parisian shops around our place, not to mention the numerous delicious bakeries! And a supermarket right at the corner of our street offers everything you need. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are market days, that's also typical and very much enjoyable.!
Our flat is very close by foot to two metro stations (Chevaleret, line 6, and Bibiothèque François Mitterrand, lines 14 and RER C) that take you anywhere in Paris: direct to Gare Saint-Lazare, Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse and the Eiffel Tower, to downtown-Châtelet (in 7 minutes), to Notre-Dame and even Versailles and its magnificent castle! If you like to go to the cinema, a movie theater offers 24 screens, with nice cafés, restaurants and pubs around just a 5 mn-walk from our home, along the Seine River, offerring also many animations at summer time. Chinatown is a 15 mn-walk with its typical shops and restaurants and also is a fancy place to go!
For joggers, Parc de Bercy is a close nice running tour.
