We had a great time in Paris. All of Paris' sights are easily accessible by metro, and at the same time Vincennes is a quiet residential area with good infrastructure. Our hosts gave us good recommendations for culture and restaurants. We also shared a love of jazz.

The apartment is very close to metro (20-30 minutes to central Paris), the forest of Vincennes and some excellent local restaurants and bars. The twice weekly market is excellent and the 'Coulee verte' planted high level walkway will take you to Bastille in just over an hour (highly recommended). Our exchange went completely smoothly and we had a great week in Paris.

Es war schön, Euch, Joelle und Jean, kennen zu lernen. Unser Aufenthalt in Eurer Wohnung in Vincennes war äußerst angenehm. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und günstig gelegen, so dass man Spaziergänge durch das freundliche Vincennes machen kann, man aber auch eine super-schnelle Verbindung ins Zentrum von Paris hat. Und Paris ist ja eine Stadt, in der man Wochen verbringen kann, ohne das Langeweile aufkommen kann ….. Vielen Dank noch einmal!

We really enjoyed more peaceful and calm Paris and France this summer, the apartment’s location is great with Castle, parks and zoo nearby, we enjoyed all the little towns and historic landmark around Paris: Giverny and Normandy coast, Loire Valley and Versailles (we went twice, our little boy was amazed by the music fountains there), We equally enjoyed so many little towns we explored such as Provins, Senlis and Champagne regions…The parking meter works well, food is great and France dealt with the Covid much better than the media portraits here. We deeply appreciate our host being kind and we felt safe and at home! We are looking forward to seeing the museums and landmarks inside the Paris next summer by taking its nearby subways…Merci!

We enjoyed our stay in Joelle and her family’s home, and we loved staying in Vincennes. It was the perfect area for us to enjoy the very family-friendly neighborhood and explore Paris.

A perfect exchange! Joelle welcomed us personally and made us feel completely at home in her wonderful flat. The bedroom is very comfortable; the kitchen just right and the living area perfect for our week's stay. The flat is a short walk to the number 1 Metro, so you can be anywhere in Paris in a matter of minutes. The village of Vincennes has everything you could need. Just great in every way!

I very much enjoyed staying in this lovely apartment! The neighborhood was convenient and very interesting. It was enjoyable to walk to the castle, and spend time in the beautiful park near the apartment. My Homelink hosts were available by phone, if I had questions. When Joelle and Jean-Francois stayed in my extra apartment in New Orleans, I enjoyed meeting them. They were perfect guests and took great care of my place. I would be happy to exchange with them again.
