    Description

    We live in the suburbs just outside Paris, in Choisy-le-Roi (RER C line – Paris is only 10 minutes away). It’s a lovely neighborhood with parks, and the Seine River is just a short walk from our home.
    We’re looking for someone kind and trustworthy to take care of our cat while we’re away.
    Our cat’s name is Riley. She’s very shy, so unfortunately, you won’t really be able to approach her. The only way she’ll come close is if she decides to come to you herself—and even then, it’s best not to try to pet her too much.
    It’s perfectly possible to live comfortably with her; she just needs to be left alone. She still enjoys having company and appreciates having someone around in the apartment.
    You’ll have access to our apartment, staying in the guest room. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living room, TV, internet, and of course, some feline company :)
    We’ll ask you to come two days before our departure so that our cat can get used to you while we’re still here.
    Dircé and Sam


    Nous habitons dans la banlieue proche de Paris à Choisy le roi (RER C, Paris accessible en 10mn) . Le quartier est très sympa avec des parcs et la Seine est à deux pas seulement.

    Nous souhaitons confier notre chat à quelqu'un de confiance et doux.
    Notre chatte s'appelle Riley, elle est très craintive donc vous ne pourrez malheureusement pas l'approcher. La seule façon de l'approcher est qu'elle vienne elle même vers vous et encore, il ne faut pas trop essayer de la caresser.
    Il est totalement possible de cohabiter avec elle, juste il faut la laisser tranquille. Elle apprécie tout de même avoir de la compagnie et une présence dans l'appartement.

    Vous aurez donc un appartement où vous pourrez séjourner dans la chambre d'amis, une cuisine équipée, un salon assez grand, télé, internet, etc... Et une compagnie animale :)

    On vous demandera de venir 2 jours avant notre départ pour que la chatte s'habitue à vous en notre présence.

    For groceries, you can shop at supermarkets (Lidl and Leclerc are about 20 minutes away by bus) and cook in our kitchen. We’ve just moved in, so we don’t have any photos of the apartment tidy yet — but they’re coming soon :)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The RER train takes you to Paris in just 10 minutes. The station is an 8‑minute walk from the apartment, so it’s very quick to get into the city — about 35 minutes to the Eiffel Tower from home.
    Please don’t invite anyone to the apartment and try to keep noise to a minimum out of respect for our neighbours.

    Le RER permet de rejoindre Paris en 10mn. Il est à 8mn à pied de la maison c'est très rapide d'aller à Paris. 35 mn de la tour eiffel depuis l'appartement.

    Merci de n'inviter personne à l'appartement et de ne pas faire trop de bruit pour respecter le voisinage.
