Hello, We have been married for 40 years and have two children, the elder one, Julian, lives in San Diego and the second, Anaïs, lives in Paris near our apartment. Our apartment of 87 m² has two bedrooms and a large living room (for Paris), with a bathroom and separate WC, as well as all modern amenities: dishwasher, washing machine with dryer, TV and cable internet, etc. It is located in a historic building and has recently been renovated. Our apartment is located near the Latin Quarter (20 minutes walk), Notre Dame (20 minutes walk), and Montparnasse (10 minutes walk) and the Luxembourg Garden (5 minutes walk). It is very well served by the Metro and the RER (direct access from Roissy airport and fast to Versailles, DysneylandParis, Fontainebleau,) and 3 bus lines (stops less than 100 meters). Our neighborhood is very pleasant to live with many restaurants, cinemas and an open market three times a week. Our exchange offer can be extended with that of a large chalet in the Southern Alps, in a wonderful location between Italy and Aix - en - Provence.
We visit our son once a year in San Diego. This our fourth exchange. We are partially retired and graduated from MIT.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The neighborhood of Port Royal, and our location in particular, is specificaly open, calm and airy. It is considered a recognized district among the historic districts of Paris because it is at the same time very "Parisian" and inhabited by a young population with a strong university representation. You will find nearby the largest variety of shops (food, fashion, art) and many monuments and museums (Pantheon, Senate, La Sorbonne, Les Catacombes, Palace of Luxembourg, Observatory). The bike station available to the public is next to our building ... Enjoy!
