Description
Hello,
I travel a lot between Paris and my house boat in the south of France (canal du Midi / river), so depending on the dates I can accommodate you on my boat or/and offer you a nice single room but without a kitchen (inexpensive restaurant for students near us), the stay is one to two weeks.
Great traveler and sea lover, I will be delighted to make you discover my magnificent city of which I am native.

General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The boat will travel on the Canal du Midi. A little sailing experience is desirable. However, river navigation remains fairly simple and a little learning is possible.
I live in a family and very cosmopolitan neighborhood in Paris.
Accustomed to cultural exchanges, I will bedelighted to exchange our cultures. I have a large amount of books and guides on Paris. If you like, I can lend you a bike for your trips.
I would also like to share knowledge on DIY technique.
Help
I still have projects in progress. To do this, I have to tidy up the DIY workshops, the storage spaces, tinker with or build furniture.
Also, I am passionate about sailing, sometimes I need help to maintain my boats. Welcome on board in the south of France.

Accommodation
I live in a typical Parisian building near Parc Montsouris.
You will have a bedroom with independent access, a double bed, an individual shower room and a small balcony but with no kitchen.
In the district you will find transport (Metro, bus, tram, etc.) all shops and a very good value student restaurant.
We travel a lot between Paris and our boat in the south of France, so depending on the dates I can accommodate you on the boat or offer you a nice single room.
What else ...
The district is very calm and well connected. It is a very good starting point for exploring Paris.

With his positive attitude, he helped me very conscientiously. Very curious and open-minded, we had very constructive discussions. He will always be welcome in Paris or on the boat when I will sail to new towns in the south of France. I highly recommend to other hosts.
