This very small studio has a good location and a comfortable bed. The compact kitchen allows for very limited cooking. I am sure during the summer when you can use the outdoor space, the studio is inviting and offers more light than it does in the winter. The bathroom is nicely done. The neighborhood offers many restaurants and a nice street for a weekly market.
Hannah and Cedric's studio apartment has an amazing location. Within 4 minute walking, we reach one train station (Rome) and within 8 minute walking, we reach another train station. We can get to all the places we want to see in Paris in 30 minutes or less by public transportation.
The studio is small but very well-equipped and has everything we need for our stay. Hannah also prepared some toys, books and colouring pens for our daughter. Cedric was there to meet us and showed us everything we needed to know. They also let us stay for one more separate night as we needed to get back to Paris so we can catch our return flight to Calgary, Canada.
We felt very lucky to be able to stay in this studio apartment. Thank you again Hannah and Cedric for hosting us!
Hannah and Cedric were very easy to comunicate and organise with. We managed to set an excange rather quickly.
Their studio has great location and is perfectly organized. They have super manual and tips to get around the aream. Hannah and Cedric were very thoughtful and left some toys for my kids l, which was greatly appreciated.
We also had a smoth communication during the excange. I am only sorry for not managing to organize and meet them in person :)
Maybe next time!
After our initial exchange had to be cancelled a day before we left for Paris, Hannah and Cedric were so kind to let us stay, very last minute, at their studio. it saved our trip!
the studio is lovely, small but very finctional and with a loevely garden. location wise it is also a bit a residential area with a nice park around the corner.
we enjoyed our stay at their pace very much
Wow!!! We loved our 7 night stay at Hannah and Cedric’s lovely studio apartment with its own outdoor patio area - a real plus in the summer to have an outdoor space to relax in. The local neighbourhood has dozens of fantastic restaurants, cafes and boulangeries and we would definitely stay in this area again if we go back to Paris as a be ry quick metro ride takes you to the main attractions of the city. Hannah and Cedric were super helpful and definitely recommend an exchange with them if the opportunity arises.
The studio is in a perfect location for visiting Paris! We loved exploring the neighbourhood and its restaurants and bars.
Hannah and Cedric were incredibly helpful, especially when we couldn’t understand French transport instructions! Thank you both so much for our globe exchange.
Hannah and Cedric were great hosts and made me feel very welcome. Their charming studio is in a great part of Paris. I hope to return.
Thank you to Hannah & Cedric for a wonderful 7-day stay in Paris. The Suite was perfect, the arrangements with Hannah were completely smooth and as a hub for exploring Paris I cannot recommend strongly enough.
What an amazing little apartment in the perfect location of Paris. Hannah and Cedric are wonderful hosts - they have literally the most thorough and thoughtful handbook for the apartment answering any and all questions you may have and full of wonderful suggestions for the area. They are available in a moment's notice and incredibly thoughtful and helpful but also respect your privacy during your stay.
The apartment is of course small as a studio but could not be more well laid out and thought through. It has a Murphy bed (which I have to say, I've always wanted to experience). It has a really comfy mattress and while the apartment is small I actually left the bed down during my stay because I felt like I had plenty of room as a single person to do all I needed to. The kitchen and bathroom are brand new and really have everything you need.
The absolute best thing about the apartment is the patio which is almost as big as the studio. While it was fall and a bit chilly I did try to get out there a few times to enjoy the turning leaves and lovely weather we had. It's very private and full of lovely plants and comfortable seating.
The area in the 17th was a really lovely surprise. It's really convenient to everything - I walked to Montmartre and actually walked to other areas of Paris when I was up for a 30 minute walk but also you could take a straight shot on the Metro to Chatelet which gets you to the heart of everything you need to see in Paris. In 25-35 minutes you can be anywhere on the metro from this neighborhood. But the best part is you are in a truly French neighborhood with the loveliest people. The local bakery with the friendliest owner, wonderful cafes where I had lovely conversations with the people serving me, and beautiful little shops with great prices, one whose owner gave me wonderful tips on places to go for nice walks on pretty historic streets without a crush of tourists.
Really, I was so grateful to stay here and get to know Hannah and her family (especially her two sweet girls). This place is a gem.
We are just back from a long Parisian week-end in Hannah and Cedric studio. We are more than delighted ! The studio is cosy, very quiet and perfectly equipped for a easy and very comfortable stay. The terrace is really great, what a pleasure to have this quiet outside garden in the center of Paris. Batignolles is an amazing part of Paris, with so much restaurants, bars, shops (don't miss Scoop me a cookie !). Hannah and Cedric where perfect guests when they were at our home and they are also wonderful hosts. Communication was really easy and friendly, Hannah and Cedric, we want to thank you for the great times we had, thank you for the delicious gifts you left for us, I'm really crazy about Florian Mesère Chocolates ! Thank you for the warm welcoming, we really feel that swapping with you made us even more addict to the spirit of home exchanging, you are the perfect partners, and we would love to meet you in the future. I'm sorry as my English is not good enough to express perfectly my feelings, but I would like to say to all the PLU "contact Hannah and Cedric and swap with them !.
We enjoyed having Hannah, Cedric and the girls, even grandma at our house! We are especially grateful that they were willing to watch our dog Charlie and I can tell they spoiled him!! Would recommend them as guests anytime.
I had the pleasure of hosting Hannah and Cédric's family in our home, and everything went perfectly. Communication was smooth and pleasant, and they took great care of our house. I was delighted to lend them our home so they could spend quality time with their family and enjoy their friends. Hannah even did some laundry before they left, showing just how ideal they were as guests. I highly recommend Hannah, Cédric, and their family for any future exchange.
Cédric, Hannah and their two daughters were very pleasant. Our discussions were friendly and fluid, they were open to suggestions. They left the house in immaculate condition and started washing the sheets since our family was arriving that evening!
This experience was very positive for us,
Don’t hesitate to welcome them into your home!
Fanny and Jerome
Hannah really was the perfect guest! The studio was left in an immaculate condition. Communication with Hannah was straightforward and very pleasant. Thank you for visiting and you are more than welcome to stay here any time again in the future.
Hannah didn't stay long with us, but in that short time i noticed she is a friendly and flexible guest, she left the home clean and tidy. Communication went very smooth.
I can fully recommend her as a guest!
Best,
André
Hannah, Cédric and the girls were the perfect guests. The communication between us was unproblematic. And the highlight was that they left our apartment in a spotless condition. We were expecting a busy evening after getting back home, instead we had a relaxing one, as there was nothing left for us to do :) Everything was clean and tidy. We appreciated you very much as our guests and would gladly host your again!
Hi!
Thank you som much for the excange. Kids loved Paris and parks and bakery around your flat. I hope that all went well for you too :) i hope to meet you in person on some occasion:)
Hannah and her family were the perfect guests. They left our house spick and span and from what she herself told us our cat was very well looked after!
This was a non-reciprocal but we’ll be happy to host them again if they wish, or to meet up one day.
Thank you guys!
It was a real pleasure to welcome Hannah home. Communication was fluid and very pleasant. I even had the chance to receive a photo report of their stay here! It was my first experience and it's so positive that I will repeat with pleasure!
Thank you Hannah for taking care of my home!

Thank you Hannah for taking care of my home!
Hannah and Cedric and their girls were incredibly respectful of our home. When we returned it was even more tidy than when we left (and we are pretty tidy people). They were in touch anytime they had a question or needed anything. We were also pleased to exchange our car and again they were very respectful and careful. We loved the little notes their daughter's left for our sons as thanks for sharing their rooms. We are grateful to their entire family for a very special 3 weeks.
We were thrilled to exchange homes with Hannah, Cedric and their girls. They were wonderful hosts - their apartment was in the perfect location (4 metro stops to the Louvre) and very comfortable. The air conditioning was great on days it was very hot. We appreciated their tips and advice about Paris. Hannah and Cedric were also incredibly respectful of our home. It was even tidier than when we left it (and we are pretty tidy people). They were also careful with our car and made sure to be in touch to ask questions when anything came up. We loved the notes their daughter's left for our boys thanking them for sharing their rooms. We had such a special vacation and a huge part of that was having Hannah and Cedric as our exchange partners! Thank you for everything.
I didn't have the opportunity to meet Hannah (as I was on another PLU exchange at the time) but it was a pleasure to communicate with her and everything ran super-smoothly. I hope we'll stay in touch as London and Paris are pretty much just around the corner! Thanks, Hannah!
We had the pleasure of leaving our house for the weekend of the climb to the family of Hannah and Cédric.
We appreciated the discussions before. During and after their stay.
They were charming. Warm and respectful.
A very big thank you for the maintenance of the swimming pool.
I recommend them to you. What about attentions with chocolate and wine.
They also washed as many towels and sheets as possible before leaving. Adorable
Thank you so much
We were able to meet when they arrived at our home. Hannah and Cedric were super friendly. The communication went very well and the house was made nickel chrome, with beautiful flowers and more! We recommend these travelers.
Nice family. The house was clean and all in order.
Good communication during their stay.
Hannah and Cedric and their girls were perfect house guests! This was our first exchange and Hannah was so helpful in letting me know what guests expect and what owners should expect. They brought the most amazing cheese from Paris snd left the house spotless! What more could we ask for?!
Very nice and respectful family.
She took good care of the house and the cats had no shortage of hugs 👍
Easy communication both before and during.
Looking forward to seeing them again with us!!!
I was delighted to receive Hannah Cédric and the girls! Cédric was able to come before the exchange to know the main information about the house, we also exchanged with Hannah. Everything went well and it seems to me that the house agreed to everyone despite the very hot weather. Thanks to them for the care taken at home and the plants that needed water! best wishes
Cédric, Hannah and girls are a nice family.
We had a great communication during their stay.
Everything was fine.
Hannah and her family are lovely! We spent time getting to know each other before hand and I know we will keep in touch. She had great questions and was really considerate about my home, asking permission to use certain items with her girls and have her mom come to stay with them. I would love to host them again anytime! Wonderful guests.
aIt was really a great pleasure to host Hannah and her family. Hannah is a lovely person. Communication before, during and after the swap was perfect, easy and funny. Our house was absolutely tidy and clean and welcoming when we came back. Lovely messages and presents where waiting for us. It was our first PLU swap and it couldn't have been a better one. We can't wait to go the Hannah and Cedric's house and meet them and the girls.
Thank you Hannah to have been our first PLU guest !
Thanks again for having us in you amazing , cosy ambiance am and welcoming house. It was such a nice short break in the middle of the week to join Hannah with the girls. You treated me with some nice local specialities for my birthday i really appreciated we will enjoy. Looking forward welcoming you in our home. Cédric & hannah
We had a wonderful stay at Lisa and Kevin's home on the Cape. Their home is very comfortable and large, and extremely quiet which is exactly what we Parisians are looking for on holiday. In addition we got to take care of their dog Charlie, who was so sweet and who we all (especially our youngest daughter) enjoyed! Lisa and Kevin are such kind people, very flexible about our arrangements (arrival and departure and my mom staying with us). Lisa even brough us to the children's museum that she manages one day, which our girls say is the highlight of their trip! We loved our stay at Lisa and Kevin's home and highly recommend them as hosts.
Amanda stayed in our home and pet-sat our cat Pierre while we were in the USA. She was a lovely guest, took great care of Pierre (who seemed quite relaxed when we returned!), sending us regular photos of the two of them. Contact with her was easy and she was a perfect guest, leaving everything as we left it, which was a pleasure when we got home. She even started some of our laundry, very welcome after our long trip! We highly recommend Amanda as a PLU guest.
We were so happy to have Elza as our cat-sitter for Pierre-le-chat in August. Everything went smoothly, and we came back to an impeccably clean home and happy kitty. Elza was so easy to exchange with before and during her stay. Her nephew left us a lovely drawn photo which we have now included along with our other guest notes in our home guide. We highly recommend Elza as a PLU guest!
We had a wonderful stay at Maude's home, which is spacious, tastefully decorated, comfortable and modern. We slept like babies in complete silence, a treat for us Parisians. Maude was so easy to exchange with before, during and after our stay. We highly recommend Maude and her home in Nantes!
We had a wonderful stay at Fanny and Jerome's home in Crest. It really worked out perfectly as we were able to celebrate Cedric's mother's birthday with her, as well as see his cousins and other relatives that week. The house was comfortable and cool in the blazing south of France heat. Fanny and Jerome were very flexible with dates and also accommodating when we had a couple of requests. They also let our daughter Oliane play with their dog, and brought both girls some books after they had read all their own. They also provided local recommendations that were really helpful to ensure a fun stay. We highly recommend Fanny and Jerome for future exchanges.
Guilia came in July to kindly pet-sit our cat Pierre. She was a perfect guest, everything went smoothly, and Pierre seemed quite content when we got home. Communication was perfect before and during the exchange, and everything was exactly as we left it when we got back! Thanks Guilia for being our guest. We would highly recommend Guilia for other exchangers.
Janice's home was perfect for my trip to London for business. This was a new area of London for me, with everything you need just next door, including a very good tavern steps away from the apartment building, and a park nearby for running. The location was super well connected by train. Janice's home was comfortable, well equipped. Checking in was easy with the help of her friendly son, who gave me some recommendations in the area. I highly recommend Janice and her home for home exchanges.
Anne Marie was the perfect guest especially for our cat Pierre. On a short notice she was interested to come to Paris from Canada to cat sitting our 1 year old cat. it happened very smooth and Pierre and Anne Marie became best friends. The communication with her was very easy and fluid. She took care of our house which was in same condition as we left it. I can only advice her for any exchange or hospitality for cat sitting Thanks again Anne Marie
Sjoerd and André were wonderful hosts. I was attending a conference in Amsterdam so just stayed a few days at their apartment, and everything was perfect. Communication was very easy and responsive when I had a couple small questions. Their home is quite well set up for a comfortable stay, and conveniently located to a tram. They even offered a bike to use while there (though I didn't end up using it due to rain and my work clothes!). I highly recommended Sjoerd and Andrés home for future home exchangers.
We had a wonderful stay at Kasia's home! They are such a lovely family and we are so glad this non-simultaneous exchange could work out. Kasia's home is quite spacious and comfortable, with all modern amenities. On top it is the last floor so extremely quiet, which was well appreciated by these Parisians! The location is great, just a few minutes to two metro lines and 30-45 minutes to most Berlin attractions. We had a very fluid and easy communication with the family throughout there stay (including their help when our daughter was ill). We love Berlin and were very grateful to have this opportunity to come during the Christmas and New Years holidays. Thanks so much Kasia and family for this pleasant exchange experience.
Dear Hannah and Cédric, thank you very much for your review. We also loved to have you as our guests.
We had the pleasure to welcome Lionnel and Sandrine to our home over the Christmas holidays, where they were so kind to "cat-sit" our cat Pierre while we went to another exchange home. Lionnel and Sandrine are very experienced exchangers so everything was just easy. They left our home in spotless condition. They left us extremely thoughtful gifts, which gave some inspiration to us for our own future exchanges. Everything went perfectly from our perspective and we would love to exchange again with them, hopefully someday to visit their home in Savoie. Thanks Lionnel & Sandrine!
Van, Quang and Lily were wonderful guests in our studio. They were very respectful of our home and left everything in perfect shape when they left. We had very easy communication with them before and during their stay. They shared some photos of their trip in Paris, which we always love. We would very much recommend this lovely family as your future guest!
Kasia and family came to our home on a non-simultaneous exchange. They are a lovely family from Berlin. We had very fluid exchanges with them while they were here. Our home was left spotless after they left. We highly recommend this family for future exchanges.
We had a wonderful stay in Sylvie's home in Tours. Her home is beautifully designed, quite spacious, has a beautiful garden and terrasse for lounging in evenings, a cinema room, and is super well located for exploring Tours and beyond, in our case by bikes. Sylvie was kind enough to lend us adult bikes during our stay and put out some kids' games that kept our girls busy for hours. It was a really easy exchange as Sylvie has tons of exchanging experience - their home book was one of the most organized and comprehensive I've ever seen. We would love to come to Sylvie's again and highly recommend this home and host to other PLU exchangers.
Dear Hannah
It was a pleasure having you in our home! You left the house in perfect state and our cat looked very well looked after when we returned. Thank you so much for that.
Thank you very much for the review, you're very welcome to use the house again whenever possible.
We had a wonderful time at Anne-Christelle's home in Terres de Druance, Normandy. Her home is in a small "hameau" where the neighbors, along with the many horse owners that come to visit (as her home sits on a horse farm), all know each other. We never met so many kind and accommodating people....we even got some help (a ride to Caen and a kind neighbor to bring us to the local market) when we had some car troubles. Anne-Christelle's home is very cosy, and is right next to a forest for calm walks. We enjoyed local vegetables, fruits and meats, and some wild strawberries and blackberries growing in abundance nearby. We also took numerous trips to the D-day beaches, which was really memorable. I will always think fondly of this special exchange at Anne-Christelle's with my two daughters.
Annie and Richard were perfect guests in our apartment this summer. We were actually away when they arrived and they were very flexible with finding a way to get keys to them! Communication was really easy with Annie before, during and after the exchange. They also left us a very thoughtful gift when they left. Thanks Annie & Richard for being our guests!
Allison, Mark and their kids were perfect guests at our home in Paris this summer. We did a simultaneous exchange with their family (which was quite amazing for us as we got to experience 4th of July in the USA with the kids, a long-time dream of mine), and everything went smoothly : communications before and during the stay, home left in perfect condition. We felt really at ease having them in our home. We are really grateful to have met such a pleasant family. I would not hesitate to exchange with Allison & Mark.
We just returned from a most wonderful exchange with Allison, Mark & their two boys! What a nice family....and beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable home. We loved the neighborhood - very quiet - we slept quite soundly at night (much appreciated by us Parisians). The exchange was very smooth, and communcation easy before and during the exchange. We were really grateful for the ease of this exchange, and that we could meet with my friends and family this summer. We would not hesitate to exchange with Allison & Mark again.

I had a wonderful stay at Sam's home in Finsbury Park. It is a lovely home, well equipped, comfortable & quiet, and with a nice garden for relaxing in the evening. The location cannot be beat -just 2 stops north from St Pancras. This visit to London was just a quick trip, but I hope to have another opportunity to exchange with Sam in the future.
Sue and Ken were a really lovely couple who treated our home with the utmost respect. We had very easy communications with them before and during their stay. They left us a lovely gift made by a friend back in Australia. I would not hesitate to exchange with Sue and Ken.
We had a great stay at Eloime and Yoann's home. Their home is well equipped, comfortable and extremely quiet at night, which is well-appreciated by these Parisians! Their yard is huge with many interesting plants and flowers. We also got to spend some time with their charming kitty. Communications were really easy and clear, and the family was very accommodating for our extra visiting guests. I wouldn't hesitate to exchange with Eloime and Yoann, if you are thinking of visiting the Anjou region in the Loire.
We had a wonderful stay at Melody’s. Sun most of the week, nice trips to the beach and hikes along the coast, day trip to Italy and several hilltop cities. Menton is just next door and also a nice visit.
Melody's home was comfortable and extremely quiet. There is everything you need (groceries, bread etc) in the town down the hill. There is even a great play area for kids (Koalaland) - where we happened to see Prince Albert de Monaco with his kids (!).
We liked the company of her cats (especially the one that slept with our daughter Oliane). Communication was easy with Melody, and everything went smoothly for our stay.
In short, we would highly recommend a stay at Melody’s home in sunny Roquebrune-Cap-Martin !
Megan and her friend Denise were amazing guests at our home. We had good communications with Megan during their stay. Our house was in perfect condition when we returned and we had complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Megan for future exchanges.
Aw, Cedric and Hannah… thank you so much. That was a week we will never forget. I can’t imagine a more perfect place to have marked our turning 50. You and your family are always welcome with me in Northampton.:)
Nice family who came for a short trip to Paris - everything went smoothly and they seemed to enjoy themselves! We are looking forward to coming to their place in the DR for the other part of our exchange, in the coming year. Rene and Family: you are also welcome back again in the future!
❤️ We would love that... with warmer weather 😉
My stay at Richard's was perfect - his apartment is in a super location in Amsterdam, walkable to the center and to many museums, and also close to metro and tram lines. His home is comfortable with everything you need for cooking at home or just relaxing. It was extremely quiet at night (which I really appreciated!), and I woke up to the birds in the courtyard each morning. I highly recommend Richard's home for folks visiting Amsterdam.
Super friendly and nice family who were great exchangers. We stayed in touch throughout their visit, importantly to get their family photos of them enjoying Paris! We hope their trip and stay was wonderful and wish them many more happy exchanges.
Richard was a perfect guest in our studio. He was in Paris to perform some comedy shows. We had great exchanges prior to his visit, and during his stay. Our studio was exactly as we found it, after he left. We couldn't ask for a better guest. Looking forward to coming to his home soon and to other potential exchanges in the future.
Yousra and Olivier and their family were excellent guests in our home for the Christmas period. We had easy communications throughout the exchange and really enjoyed getting to know this family. I highly recommend them as PLU guests! Wishing you many more pleasant exchanges, Yousra & Olivier.
We had a wonderful stay at Yousra and Olivier's home in Ferney-Voltaire, which is just next to Geneva. We really enjoyed huddling by their woodstove, reading and playing books. There is a treehouse net on the 2nd floor which entertained the kids. Their home is really well equipped and our communications were easy. Many activities to do nearby - Geneva and around Lake Leman (and ideally skiing, though we were out of luck - no snow at Christmas!) We did not know this region before and it was a nice discovery. The family left us several thoughtful welcoming gifts which was a nice surprise. It was a real pleasure getting to know this family and spending time in their home.
Tracey and her girls were wonderful guests in our home recently. We had excellent communications with them before and throughout their stay. The girls even took good care of our hamster Lilas while we were away. Our home was spotless when we got back and we had complete piece of mind with this lovely family! I would highly recommend Tracey for future exchanging.
We had a wonderful stay at Jessica’s home on Cape Cod. It was off season so beaches were very serene, and no traffic. Jessica’s home is right near some lakes and also the rail trail which made for great walks and runs. Her home is perfectly comfortable and has the bonus of ping pong and pool tables , which our daughters loved! Communication was easy before, during, and after our stay. We would highly recommend exchanging with Jessica at her lovely home. We are looking forward to welcome her to our home in Paris in the future!
Paul and his wife were perfect guests in our home. We had very easy communication before and during their stay, and our studio was spotless when we returned. We are hoping to exchange with them again sometime, hopefully to come to their beautiful home in Phuket!
Melissa was a perfect guest in our home! She came for her portion of non-simultaneous exchange, and everything was easy and smooth, as for the first part of our exchange. Our home was in perfect care during her stay. We have enjoyed getting to know Melissa and are hoping to continue to exchange with her in her lovely home in Marblehead!
We really enjoyed our stay with Christel and Bertrand and their children. Our daughters loved the swimming pool, the fish pond, the trampoline and above all took care of the two very cuddly cats. Communication was easy and very responsive for any advice or details that are not in the digital guide. We highly recommend their large, very pleasant and very well decorated house.
We had a great stay at Catherine’s home. Their house is in a very quiet area. We enjoyed the peaceful time away from Parisian life. The neighborhood is quite nice and close to Lyon by car or train. Communication was easy. We recommend her house for other exchangers.
We had a great stay at Joan and Nicolas home. Communications were clear and easy. Their house is lovely, comfortable, and had excellent air conditioning which was crucial during this 2022 heat wave! We took ample advantage of their pool and lovely terrace. It is extremely quiet at night which is what us Parisians are always looking for during holiday stays. We highly recommend these hosts and their home for other exchangers.
We welcomed Colette and her lovely family recently at our home. Communication was easy and they treated our home like their own. We hope they all had a great time in Paris and comfortable stay. Wishing them many more happy exchanges!
Agustin and Pepa family were good guests. They took great care of our home during their stay. They even brought us an argentinian delicacy.
Zara and her 2 kids were fantastic guests. They took great care of our home during their stay. They even brought us some nice gifts : bbq sauces from their city. We recommend you to host Zara and family.
We had a wonderful stay at Melissa’s home in Marblehead. Everything is tastefully decorated m, modern and comfortable, and instructions very clear. I particularly appreciated the Netflix subscription which helped me to eke out a little more sleep when my kids woke up early from jetlag (as they put on cartoons themselves)!
It was a pleasure meeting Melissa via video prior to the exchange, and all text discussions were easy and clear. Melissa was flexible about all arrangements including arrival/departure and my mom coming to stay. I hope to meet Melissa F2F someday, surely when she comes to stay at our place in Paris.
Marblehead was a wonderful discovery for us. I lived in boston many years before moving to france, and have visited many other places on the north shore, but for some reason had missed Marblehead. It is a beautiful town with historic buildings and wonderful places to read, walk or just ponder along the water. The people there are lovely. Salem is within easy reach, but we ended up spending the most time just exploring Marblehead. Hoping to do it again sometime!
I highly recommend Melissa’s home for your future exchange considerations.
Corinne and Jeff were the perfect hosts you can expect. They took good care of our studio. They started to clean some part of the sheets before they left. We were also quite lucky to have the surprise of a customised adventure book named after our two girls which they love it a lot.They also seem to have enjoyed the neighborhood too. I recommend Corrine and Jeff venue as future hosts for anyone.
We have just returned from a stay at Corinne and Jeff’s home. Where to start when commenting on this wonderful exchange? Number one: their home and property is just plain beautiful. Extremely peaceful, thoughtfully decorated, well equipped for a comfortable stay. Bonuses: beautiful gardens, a hot tub, and a fire pit! There are also numerous places to eat or lounge outdoors.
Our girls enjoyed feeding the chickens, collecting their eggs, and spending time with the household cats. Their home is in a very peaceful area of Normandie, with numerous hiking trails just from the house where you may not encounter a soul (beyond a cow or two!). We didn’t even need to wander out much by car (which, btw, Corinne kindly offered to us to use). If you do want to do a day trip, the D-Day beaches are a short drive. I went for many reflective hikes and runs in the area and came back to Paris feeling like I took a 3-week holiday.
The communication with Corinne was easy and informal, and Corinne extremely responsive at every step. Corinne really went out of her way to ensure we had a great stay: welcome gifts, a giant basket of activities and ingredients to make “S’Mores” for our girls, and even a birthday gift for Cedric! On top she prepared a delicious lunch (including dessert) for the first day so we didn’t have to run out for groceries upon arrival. Departure was easy: Corinne arranged an easy drop-off of keys and even a sweet bakery surprise for us when leaving.
I must say that this was the most welcoming exchange we have ever done, and we have been exchanging for a long time (over 12 years). If you love peaceful surroundings (few people but many cows!), beautiful nature, and a cozy atmosphere where you have everything you need for a comfortable stay, then Corinne & Jeff’s home is for you.
Thank you so much Hannah for this wonderful feedback, we were really happy to host you and knowing you enjoyed our little peaceful home is a real pleasure. We will be very happy to meet you asap in Paris
