Catherine has been very nice too us. Living at hers is very convenient, there are buses, metro, supermarket, and markets right on the street every morning. Catherine does not speak a lot of English, but she surely helped improve my French! Her son Paul speaks good English, and has been very helpful with our luggage. I love the two cats, they are all very friendly, and Mustache secretly loves me because I bribed it with fish :)
My mom left her sweater at her place, and she did not hesitate to send it to us. Thank you so much Catherine!
