About Me

Backpacking the world with my wife until March 2018 ! Let's meet ;)

Married, dynamic, always smiling, interested in so much thing that I do not sleep enough :)

I like eating, sport, laughing, thinking about a better world drinking mojito, electro music, playing a little bit guitare (so roasted... but beggining ukulele)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet foreign people and touch "a bit" their culture and share mine ! It's fundamental for me to speak with people from the world to get rich of experience !

Very busy , I can be out if warned "last minute" :) but I go to bed lately ;)

My advices :
- do not spend time queuing to go "up" on the Eiffel Tower : just stay "under" and feel the majesty, once by day + once by night at 22h / 23h / 0h or 1h to see the "glittering lighthing".
- Avoid "champs elysée walk" : only useless shops, high prices, low quality. Not a piece of french culture or kindness. Just go to the "arc de triomphe", get up if you want you will see nice view. You can then go by metro to the Concorde - Madeleine place.
- If there is a nice Exhibition : "le grand palais" is an amazing building ( buy "shortcut" tickets on internet :) )
- Walk around the "Sacré Coeur" because it's nice but don't forget that in touristics places everything is more expensive and less quality. And around "Les abbesses" : lot of bars. "Place du Tertre" : such a tourists trap... :) (can eat there : "Le Gourmet" ( great wine and good food), down to the district : http://au-gourmet.com/Menus/Formule_jour.htm https://goo.gl/maps/y8eNGwHx5aG2 or here Le Relais Gascon - Restaurant http://www.lerelaisgascon.fr/ here https://goo.gl/maps/MAqHgSEC7gB2 (it's south west food, a bit faty :) but great , if you are not vegetarian )
- if you go to montmartre, you will not be far from a place i didn't go yet but seems great "cité des Fleurs" : http://goo.gl/lQ0AHX ( use GG translate ^_^) From 7 am to 19h on weekdays and 7 am to 13h on Sundays and public holidays." at "metro brochant"
- Great Walk in the east of Paris : "Coulée verte René Dumont" http://goo.gl/XY5vsp Download map : http://equipement.paris.fr/coulee-verte-rene-dumont-ex-promenade-plantee-1772

Ephemeral nice places on the evening (check if it is open, like April > October ) :
- Guinguette "la Javelle" (music, bar, foodtrucks, just on the Seine) : https://goo.gl/maps/Kdv3NgCr4ZH2 Not Cheap but nice
- "Grand Train" : amazing place inside an old railway station, with some old train left (don't come with food in your bag) https://goo.gl/maps/3vgYaqaHEGw

Great Parcs :
- In north of Boulogne there is a nice japanese Garden + english garden + 2 kind of little forest recreated (like 4€ entry fee) http://albert-kahn.hauts-de-seine.fr/venir-au-musee/informations-pratiques/
http://albert-kahn.hauts-de-seine.fr/jardins/les-differents-jardins/
- one of my favorite "Parc des buttes-chaumont" : https://goo.gl/maps/664u7mMtKEs and inside you got '"Rosa Bonheur bar" (closes after the parc, You got to come before the parc close)
- The baloon around "parc citroen" if you want U can get in : https://goo.gl/maps/9tJGDBHvZPE2 You can try to get in the baloon :)
- Parc de Saint Cloud is a great place near Paris, with piece of forest and "up on the town"

( I don't like jardin des tuileries, that's personal )

For kinky places, just ask ;)
