Bertrand and Catherine embody all that is fantastic about Airbnb. They welcomed me into their beautiful home and made my experience in Paris very special with their humour, intellect and hospitality.
I walked for 20 minutes to the OECD along a beautiful track that used to be a railway line but is now a conservation area with birds and greenery that can be accessed across the road from Bertrand’s home and then on a road passing by Embassies and magnificent buildings completing the walk through pleasant parkland to the conference I attended at OECD Headquarters.
Near Bertrand’s home there are some lovely restaurants and bars as well as a beautiful florist and small supermarkets for anything you need.
I walked to the Eiffel Tower which took about 40 minutes, it was a lovely walk, part of which was along the Seine.
The location is in a very affluent, quiet, safe place but with easy access to the main attractions of Paris.
I caught a taxi to Charles de Gaulle Airport which cost 57Euros and took one hour, I also travelled on the RER and Metro which took 2 hours and cost 11.50 Euros.
Staying with Bertrand and Catherine was a fabulous experience which I highly recommend
