We’re a Parisian family of four but our elder son, who’s 22, rarely comes with us on vacation. Our younger son is 16. My husband is a Head Concierge Clefs d’Or in two boutique hotels in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and he’ll be happy to share his encyclopedic knowledge of Paris with you! I am a translator and I love writing and reading.
We’re all very sporty and keen on outdoor activity. We play tennis several times a week, swim, ski in the winter and our younger son loves skating, surfing and snowboarding.
We love arts, culture, travels and museums.
We’re new on Homelink, which was recommended to us by a friend, but we’re used to trading homes since we’ve been doing so every summer for the past 11 years with friends and friends of theirs in various parts of the US.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our bright three bedroom apartment is located in a 1860s building in one of the most sought after areas of Paris: the Latin Quarter (6th arrondissement).
It's on the 4th floor (3rd US) with an elevator.
The dining-room cum sitting-room and the master bedroom overlook the street while the two other bedrooms are at the back and offer a lovely view over the roofs, with the Montparnasse Tower in the background.
Our bedroom has a queen size bed while our sons' bedrooms have a double and a single bed respectively.
The bathroom has a shower/tub and there are separate toilets. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas rings, an electric oven, a microwave and a dishwasher.
We have moulded ceilings in several rooms as well as fireplaces (only for decorative purposes).
