My husband and I just LOVED staying with Gildas. This was a reward for being a breast cancer survivor. It was my first time to Paris and Gildas made it a very nice memory. He was very kind to come home at lunchtime to give us the key since we had an early arrival. His apartment has a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. Don't miss the twinkling strobe lights on the tower at night. He had amazing pastries and a baguette waiting for us each of the four mornings we were with him. His instructions to get around Paris were excellent. The room was very comfortable and welcome after a day of walking up and down stairs to the museums, Paris sights, restaurants that he recommended and the stairs to the trains. It was nice to have a lift at the end of the day to his apartment. We had some interesting conversations about politics, education and philosophies. He is an open person who we think you will enjoy. We brought him a great bottle of Pinot Noir from the California Anderson Valley with us on the plane. We shared part of it together after a Wednesday night visit to the Louvre. In return, he had a variety of French cheeses to share with us. We arrived late after ten p.m. that night but he was still up waiting up for us. I would highly recommend Gildas for your next trip to Paris! We hope to revisit Paris again and stay longer than four nights with him.
Gracias por todo. Nos veremos pronto.
