Our apartment is located in the center of Paris, in the heart of the picturesque Bastille district (11th arrondissement), at 50 meters from Bastille square and its opera. The graceful Place des Vosges in the Marais district is only at 5 minutes walking distance.
Bastille is a trendy area inhabited by lots of artists and craftsmen, with small shops, many typical parisian cafes and restaurants, with charming passages, paved courtyards and ateliers to discover. It is also a famous night life district with many cafes-concert, bars and clubs, movie theatres and the Opera.

The apartment is close to several supermarkets, grocerys, drugstores and an excellent bakery just across the street. The marche de la Bastille, on boulevard Richard Lenoir, is one of the most animated and colourful outdoor food market of Paris where you will find a wide variety of fresh fish, meat, fruits and vegetables at affordable prices.

Bastille is a district very well served by public transportations: from the Place de la Bastille, several subway or bus lines will give you a quick and easy access to the Seine river, the Louvre Museum, Saint Germain des Prés and the Latin Quarter, the Champs-Elysées and many more parisian monuments and sights.
If you want to take a walk, jog or picnic in a garden, you can reach by bus in a few minutes the Vincennes park, Bercy gardens, Tuileries or Jardin des Plantes. You can also hire a bike for a cheap price at the Vélib service point on the Bastille square.

My girlfriend (Florence, 34 years old) is a cultural mediator in a museum and I (Massimo, 41 years old) am an italian double bass player living in Paris for four years. We decided three years ago for the first time to exchange our home. We already did it with apartments in Madrid, London and Corsica and five times in New York, all beautiful experiences for us!!!
We enjoy travelling and discovering new places and we are very flexible on our trip dates, so we are open to all interesting offers, from week-ends in France and Europe to more long exchanges in the rest of the world, anytime during the year. Non-simultaneous exchanges are also possible. Do not hesitate to contact us!
We are very serious and responsible. You can be sure that we will treat your home with respect as well as our own. We expect the same in return. We will be pleased to welcome you in our apartment and to help you to arrange your stay in Paris, recommending you restaurants, shops, exhibitions and interesting places to visit. We speak italian, french and english.
