THIS IS PERFECT. Having been to Paris many times, we always chose an apartment (or a hotel) in the center. After our visit to Francoise’s house in Herblay, this will change. Here, 20 minutes by train from center of Paris is a quiet, clean and relaxed place, with no traffic noise and no shouting people.
You get an entire home, with a bedroom, bathroom, well equipped kitchen, living room with a sleeping couch and another toilet and shower. Easy space for 5-6 people.
The house has a small garden, equipped with what you need for outdoor living – which includes a barbecue. We used it twice during our stay, and what a delight barbecuing in your own garden – it’s like being home for real.
The house is very clean. It is in the « old french » style, so don’t expect fancy modern art or high profile architecture. This is a functioning and agreeable house.
Francoise is kind and very helpful, and gave us a nice welcome when we arrived after 800 km by car. (Even fresh coffee and a coffe machine was available).
Let the car stay at the closed private space outside the house behind a locked gate. Use the train to get to Paris. The train station is 4 minutes by foot. A day ticket (4-zones) to all of Paris (HerblayParis + Metro + Bus for 24 hours) is 11.50 Euro.
