Julien has welcomed me as agreed, on time and being so nice showing me his studio, explaining me the neighbourhood, walking me to the parking slot which is in the underground garage next to the building where the studio is situated. In the vicinity you can find a small supermarket, bakery, bars, cafes, brasseries actually everything you need to "survive"...:)...metro station is just 3 min walk from the studio. So, the studio is strategically situated very close to the metro station Volontaires and you can do the sightseeing by foot without any problems. I have made a good decision staying in Julien's place...:)
