This was my first ever trip to France. My hosts Olivier and Florence instantly made me feel welcome in their lovely Parisian apartment. The location is superb, just a short walk away from the famous Eiffel Tower, and good food abound in the area. It's at a quiet street, and I enjoyed the brief times I spent in the room in the afternoons. I was really touched that Florence and Olivier absorbed me into the French culture, by their warm hospitality and more so by their frank sharings and exchanges with me. I love the times I spent with them, and the encouragement they gave me as well. It's wonderful meeting such authentic hosts who are so willing to share their experiences and culture with you.
