Your hosts area
Located in the heart of Montmartre, Julie and Alexandre welcome you to a place with an uncommon history. The building where you will stay was built in the 18th century. It is sober, without any particular architecture, but it hides a unique story and history. In the past it was a property that belonged to the Abbesses of the Church Saint Jean de Montmartre on Abbesses Square. It is divided in three levels. The first floor was the living part of the community of the Abbesses (kitchens, dining rooms). The second floor was designed to be the praying rooms. Last, the third floor was for the dormitories of the Abbesses.

The building has belonged to Alexandre's family for 130 years. It was in 1880 that the grand uncle of Alexandre's grand father, an Italian immigrant, decided to leave Italy for France to find a job. The family settled in the North of the capital, in the small village of Montmartre. Very crowded at that time, it was the place where well-known artists begun to occupy the area. Nowadays, this area is very fashionable for Parisians and tourists. Lots of food shops have been replaced by luxury clothes shops, beautiful small cafes, bars and more. The family has been the witness to many changes to this area and Alexandre will be happy to tell you all about them during the evening or at breakfast.

Both Julie and Alexandre love to go out for entertainment, exhibitions, concerts and more. They are lucky to have friends in the artistic field, it gives them the opportunity of having a better view on the cultural life in Paris which they will share with you if you wish. Their hobbies include a love for cooking, wine tasting, travelling, exchanging views with other people. Alexandre is a fine connoisseur and when he completed his studies in the business field, his passion led him to Bordeaux where he studied wine and alcohol appreciation. Since then Alexandre has been working in a cellar in Paris and he will be pleased to welcome you there if you wish to purchase good wines to take back home.
Julie is still studying, specialising in psychology. In 2006, they did a tour of Australia for one year. What they like best during their travel was being inside a culture and sharing the life of the people of the country.

Its window opens onto a quiet street, insulated with efficient double glazing, which guarantees you a good nights rest, even being in the heart of one of the most popular tourist centres in Paris. You will find in the bedroom all the necessary equipment to prepare warm drinks: tea, instant coffee, herbal teas. You hosts will put at your disposal maps and tourist books (updated), and lots of information and addresses to make your stay as comfortable as possible and so you can benefit as much as possible of the area.
