Guenmai, I just looked on the website www.anamericandriverinparis.com and I didn't see a "shuttle" type service from Paris to CDG, did you do one of the tours? Or were you able to hire him for just the trip to the airport?

He works for the shuttle service that I mentioned above on this thread. His personal tour service is his own separate business. I did not take a tour with him. I didn't need that kind of service. I've been going to Paris for over 3 decades. But, it might be something good for first timers as they can write their own tour and he was very laid back and says he's flexible. Happy Travels!

Many of us like that area as it's very easy to walk to a lot of places, from there. It has great shopping, and small streets with interesting boutiques. Also a wide variety of restaurants/cafes/bakeries etc... I've stayed all over Paris since 1976, but the 6th just suits me quite well.
If for some reason I couldn't get a place in the 6th, then I'd either go to the 7th or 5th. However, on this upcoming trip, in a few weeks, I'll be staying with a Parisian friend in the apartment that he owns in the 10th. I'll fly from L.A. to Paris and he'll meet me at the airport and then we'll fly to Italy together for a vacation and then back to Paris together where I'll just stay with him for 4 days before flying home. I usually stay in Paris on average of 7-8 days, once or twice a year.
He took me by his new apartment last spring, to show me the ongoing renovations. So, he walked me around the neighborhood which I found interesting. I'll however take the bus over to the 6th for lunch daily at my favorite restaurant and I'll go there to shop,too. Happy Travels!

Guenmai, it seems like you have a lot of experience. I found an apartment that seems to be a good deal for me. I t is located at 1 rue Gabrielle - Paris 75018 (18th district
Is this a good area for a first timer? The pictures in the internet look very attractive.
