The building is a 2-storey one. We live on the second floor. Our neighbours are all between 20 and 35, and really nice and helpul.



We live in the downtown area of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a city with a very good reputation. There are lots of families and young people living there. We love our city because it’s lively and safe.

Our building is situated right in the city centre (in the main street of the city), situated (on foot) :

- Just at the bottom of the building : boutiques, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, cinema, and bus stop

- Around the building (2 minutes from home) : market on Sundays, theater, museums, tourist office

- 5 minutes to the Saint-Germain-en-Laye castle

- 5 minutes to the subway station (RER A train, main Paris subway line – Saint-Germain-en-Laye station – 20 minutes to Champs-Elysées / 25 minutes to Galeries Lafayette / 30 minutes to Châtelet), you always get a seat.

- 10 minutes to the Saint-Germain-en-Laye forest
