Olivier's flat is wonderful, and so is he. He greeted us and made us feel welcome before leaving us to explore the city. He made himself easily contactable in the case of any questions, and gave us some great recommendations for the area.

Couronnes Metro stop being just up the road, it's an easy journey from the Gare du Nord, and with Belleville 5 minutes away it's very quick to get into the centre of town and the sites that visitors might want to get a look around.

The neighbourhood is friendly, and the bars lively. The locals were even gracious enough not to rub it in when the football wasn't going England's way. Thanks Olivier.
