HOME EXCHANGE Summer 2011 - Paris Area

Former San Diego International Teacher is looking for a place to stay in San Diego.

We live in a 18th century house in a traditional French village on the doorstep of Paris. It is a charming and colorful house, tastefully decorated with antique and contemporary furniture. The perfect place for a family wanting to visit Paris and the area.

Montesson is a quaint village 25 minutes away from Paris and you will find everything you need: bakery, grocery store, pharmacy, church,... there is even a small farmer market on Sundays.

We are a family of four: Olivier, Christine, Eleanor(13), and Marin (11).
