Neighbourhood
Within 2 minutes walking, you have 2 amazing French bakeries, 3 supermarkets (1 bio market), banks, two Italian restaurants, and Asia traiteur, etc. Across the street is a train station that takes you right to Paris (both La Defense and Paris-Saint Lazare). Also across the street is an entrance to Parc Saint Cloud, a huge park with a hobby farm (full of goats, sheep, and twice a week the farm sells produce grown on site). Great place to bike around. Versailles is easily accessible too. We bike to Versailles regularly.
Getting to my home
The apartment is across the street from the train station: Garches / Marnes-La Coquette. The train can be taken from Paris Saint Lazare or La Defense train stations.
Nearest airport
Charles de Gaulle is about a 45 minute train ride away, Orly too.
Getting Around
Shops for all needs (haircut, bank, groceries, restaurants, pharmacy) are just a few steps walking. Well connected by bus and train.

People Like Us Local Guide
We know Paris and the surrounding area pretty well. We can meet up for a coffee, take a walk around.
Filipa's home is conviniently located by a train station taking you anywhere you want in Paris, while having the largest backyard ever (Bois de Saint-Cloud)!
We were 6 persons over 13 years old and the flat is big enough.
We wish Seb and Filipa many happy exchanges!
Filipa's home is a great place for those who want to get away from the chaos and crowdedness of city life. The train station is conveniently across the street, yet, it's a quiet and calm neighborhood!
The home is also located across from Parc de Saint Cloud as well, which is a gorgeous green space— including a farm!— where you can go on walks, bike rides, picnics, etc. This home is child-friendly (lift available, space, wide doors, etc.), and it is a cozy, comfortable place with wonderful decor from their travels and living overseas.
Filipa is very organized, thoughtful and communicative, so everything was explained clearly; there was no confusion about anything. Although she does not have young children, she made sure that the space would suit our family's needs.
Highly recommend for those who want access to green space but be a train ride away from Paris!
Filipa And Sébastien were wonderful hosts and there home was a perfect oasis for our Parisian holiday. Their apartment is clean and comfortable. It’s so helpful to have the Monoprix grocery just downstairs and to be right across the street from the train into Paris. We loved the little town of Garches as it was quiet and safe, yet so easy to get into the city.
I would be happy to have the opportunity to exchange with them again!
Great guests who are clean and respectful. Thank you!
Sébastien, Filipa and their two lovely kids were wonderful guests. They were easy to communicate with both before and during the exchange. They were very respectful guests and left our home in perfect condition. I would be happy to welcome them back any time!
Dear Gaelle,
Thank you so much for staying in our home! You and your family were wonderful and thank you for leaving our home cleaner than when you arrived! We appreciate your kindness and the sweet treats you left for us upon your departure.
Filipa et al :)
We loved staying at Tina's place in the 15th. Such a cute place and the location is ideal for exploring Paris. We basically walked everywhere. Around her place we found everything that we needed. Her home is cosy, clean and quiet. It is also well-stocked, we didn't need for anything. I hope we exchange again!
Tina left our place spotless! Wonderful person, full of joy and humour. We loved having her as a guest in our home.
We had a fabulous time at Kristy's! It was a local exchange so we were able to have our first exchange and get the hang of it. Kristy could not have been sweeter. As someone who knew the process she helped us feel comfortable, safe and answered all our questions.
Her apartment in Garches is super cute too, in a nice quiet area with sweet neighbours. The apartment is also super close to all one's needs--bakery, pharmacy, supermarket, and the train into Paris. A sweet spot.
No hesitation whatsoever in recommending Kristy both as a PLU expert and as a home exchange person.
Kristy was an absolute delight! She arranged everything with me clearly and was super kind and fun. She respected our home and treated it like her own. Would love to do another exchange with her!
