About Us

Picture
Tiffany, recently retired after 30+ years as Research Director, California Travel & Tourism Commisssion, suggested a great, crazy idea to husband Clair: what if they could live in Paris for a year! She would take care of the planning and logistics, and he would help carry their suitcases.  He went for it. They came, they saw, they loved it.

Clair was an elementary school teacher in Woodland, California, until his retirement, then worked another eight years teaching English as a Second Language.

Very Important Not-So-Fine Print:

We are not brokers, real estate agents, auditors, or investigators. We're not experts in anything. We don't examine or comment on rental agreements, legalities, structural soundness, or whether the plumbing works.  We just use our eyes, ears, noses and common sense, much as you would do if you were here in person.
