Couch Information


No couch currently available for surfing.

Couch picture

I will be away from home from home from mid august till mid september, so no hosting possible at this time

I live Puteaux, near the business area of la Défense (less 15mn walk from home to la Grande Arche). There is all public transport (subway, buses, suburbs trains, etc.) leaving from this place. It takes around 30 minutes from home to be in Paris center (Chatelet les Halles). Anyway, you won't even notice that you are not anymore in Paris as all the city are close one to the other in the area.
My appartment is around 36 square meters. It can seems to be small, but we already slept being 6 people her, everyone in a bed. I don't smoke, or at least try quitting, and not in the appartment with closed windows. I don't have any pets, but couchsurfers. LOL. I also have a bad sense of humour.

The couch is my sofa set in the living room. Don't worry, it's not the one on this picture. If you don't have sleeping bags or blanket, I can always find you something.
I also have internet wifi connection at home, so you can either use my computer if needed or use yours. There is cable TV, and also free phone for european countries and some other ones.

Personal Description

Let's start from the beginning. I was born in on a tuesday evening, just before 8pm, in the month of April 1978. I then grew up for 10 years in Provins, in Seine et Marne (close east of Paris), before my parents decided to move to the south of France. After I moved again in Besançon (Franche Comté, east of France), and finally to Paris in year 2000.(quick summary)
So, to talk about something else, I'm living in an appartment in Puteaux, and the things I enjoy the most is have fun, going out, having one drink (or more), tasting some good food and all the stuff of this kind. If fact, I'm easy going. The only problem with it is that it is sometime difficlut to wake up in the morning.

Well by the way, whatever I can say there is just expressing how I see myself. The best way to know me is to read the references below, and to meet me in real life ...


How I Participate in CS

I surf, I host, I go to CS meeting, etc.
I went to the London Calling, to the first Baltic Hopitality Gathering in Vilnius, and I helped for the Paris Rendez-vous 2007 and 2008, and now I'm on the wsay to the first Greek summer camp

Interests

My first interest is in travelling, and throught this way, discovering new countries, new culture, and learning to know peoples and their life.

Philosophy

Stop having stress and take the life as it comes.
Does a tree falling in the forest make any noise if nobody is there to hear it ?
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad

Music, Movies, Books

The film I prefer are in fact not (always) the more commercials one, but the funniest in my mind. It goes from Mel Brooks and Monty Pyhton to some that are rather unknown (at least in France, but thanks to internet ...) like Top of the Food Chain. And also one of the best film/musical ever : The Rocky Horror Picture Show !!
Concerning the music, I'm more conventional. I listen a lot the radio because of the traffic jams in Paris area. I nearly appreciate all kuind of music, and I'm also ready to discover some other one.
Books are a big stuff. It is may be because I want to stay young and never get older that I'm reading a lot of comics and mangas

Types of People I enjoy

My friends, the people who like and enjoy the same things
And also people who can say "Three Swedish switched witches watch three Swiss Swatch watch switches. Which Swedish switched witch watch which Swiss Swatch watch Switch ?" without any mistake ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you where my favorites bars and restaurants stand in Paris, and how to cook some french dishes, or at least my style dishes. Or a more serious way (in the kind of subjects, I really can teach you what is above), I can also teach how to deal with Product Lifecycle Management and how to customize a SAP system (but it will be really less interesting than the first part).
About learning, there will always be much more things for me to learn than what I know, so feel free to make any proposal.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I was once in USA, in Cape code more exactly, for vacation, and after an evening may be at drinking to much, I woke up in the middle of the night in my bed at the hostel (howdid I get there ??) thinking I just lost my wallet. Then I get downtown wearing only underpants asking people to call the police for me.
When the police arrived, they dove me back to the hostel saying they couldn't understand what I was saying and that I should sleep.
In the morning, I found back my wallet in my trousers

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

CS is a wonderfull way to meet other kinds of people coming sometimes from far away, but also from next door, and by the way to discover new way of thinking and new interests

Julien hosted me for half a week and made me feel very welcome. He was very generous and was happy to show me some of the Parisian nightlife. I had a great time, whether we were knocking down a few pints or chilling back at his apartment playing video games. He was able to show me a side of Paris I wouldn't have seen just as a tourist, for which I am very thankful. I feel he really exemplifies the ideals of Couchsurfing.

Although it is definitely the shortest couchsurfing experience I have ever had, it is one that goes to show how great the indivduals are within the Couchsurfing community.

After arriving in Paris a day earlier than expected, I went to Lions for the weekly Paris CS meetup which I had just found out a few minutes before the event was supposed to begin. There I ran into Julien who very very kindly opened up his already full flat and let me stay the night. I was only able to stay for about five hours before having to meet my friend at the airport but it made a world of difference being able to get some z's in before hitchiking across France the next day.

Thank you very much for your kindness and spontaneity Julien, I hope we will meet again in the future :)

My master, if I grow up I'll want to be like him.
He knows very well Paris and shares this.
Always partying, he can talk about very serious topics as very bad jokes (what the heck is your Pastafarianism ?).
Unmissable !

Julien is very cool, interesting and helpful as he helped me to come back to my host's place. Thanks again and see you next time in Paris! :)

Would definitely recommend.

Julien is a god! Or, to put it right, he's the Spaghetti Flying Monster!! He did everything to make us feel at home, let us stayed for a week in his small but cozy apartment, gave us useful recommendations to better enjoy Paris, made us envious for his liquor collection and, if that wouldn't be enough, helped my girlfriend surprise me with a postcard. He's a great, laid-back guy. And, on top of all, he reads, listens and watches amazing stuff! I could have stayed much more with him, too bad we had to move on with our trip.
Thank you very much, Julien! Hope to see you again in France or Argentina!

Julien hosted us for 8 days overall. It was a very genuine French experience that included (to mention a few):
1) Quebec party;
2) Driving outside of Paris;
3) Spending a night at a real French farm;
4) A picnic over the Seine;
5) Teaching me to play a Tarot cards game;
6) Exploring Chateau de La Roche-Guyon;
7) A "bush" walk in the chateau gardens with a lot of stinging nettle;
8) Damaging some French cultural inheritance while climbing the chateau fence, sorry France!!
9) Introducing me to The Rocky Horror Picture Show - that was great, thanks so much!! and et cetera..
All the way Julien was introducing me to a lot of his amazing friends, cooked for me and gave me some good travel tips. He's a friendly, easy-going person with an unusual sense of humour! We were lucky to have met him!! Merci, Julien for your generous hospitality and enjoy your weekend break in London!! Cheers, Sasha :-)

We also shared conversation and some new (American) movies that we had not seen before. Thanks Julien!

Julien let me use his couch (and wine cellar) for a whole week. Thanks for that.

He told me so much about the Paris CS Organisation. I did too, but I noticed I talked about Martine almost the whole time (damn, I must like that woman ...).

We went eating in a typical brasserie. He showed me the highlights of Paris at night. I felt sorry afterwards I didn't brought my camera then.

When there were more surfers, we went out multiple times during that week. I've witnessed some events that brighten up the Paris CS life.

The last day I went see his birthplace. I couldn't help it laughing all the time when I saw that everyone is dressed up all the time. I just imagine myself in Bruges doing the same ...

Great host, great city, great atmosphere.

Julien was really great host! He let us stay at his place even if he got to know about our arrival on a really short notice and just left us a key to his flat as if we were his old good aunties to whom you always trust! :D He was totally relaxed host and a nice company for a drink or two when he could join us after his work. Thank you very much for you incredible hospitality Julien!!!

I was looking for a couch in Paris during the holidays season, and Guillaume (PICOS38) introduced me to Julien (who lives in Puteaux, next to Paris). His apartment is small but the couch very comfortable. The closest Metro station is just few minutes away, on line 1 that crosses Paris West to East, and all the other lines - very convenient!

Julien was already hosting Elliot, and together, we had a great time! Julien is very funny, easy going and open-minded. I spent a wonderful time, thank you Julien and Elliot!

A guy that can be all in one: crazy, I mean real crazy and serious, responsible and acting like a child, wise but still a party animal, cultivated but playful. Julien has so many sides, that he makes you want to approach and learn more about him! He's definitely not a boring person, on the contrary, it's real fun to have him around!

Took me a while (sorry!... I guess I really an that good at procrastinating!), but I really should leave a reference for Julien. He's one of those great, reliable, uncomplicated, laid-back and fun CS people who make this site what it is. I stayed at his place for several days just as I moved to Paris, which was incredibly helpful. His "bachelor pad" should really be a Paris CS landmark and his couch is one of the busiest in town... he's always up for helping a stranded traveler, offering a place to crash, some good conversation, a beer, having a lazy afternoon in front of the TV or a crazy night on the town. Been a pleasure getting to know Julien and looking forward to many more fun times around Paris!

I met Julien during the CS Greek Summercamp in Naxos...

Along these four days, we had time for many different experiences, from an epic trip by bike around the island to some waterguns killing party until the end of the night (or the beginning of the day, I don't really remember... by the way what did I do this night? For sure, I killed him at least 4 times with my watergun...).

Oh, I remember something: he was an extremely efficient support in our singing of the French hymn (but was it really him? Don't remember...)

He's a great mate for such a trip, somebody responsible but also fun at the same time. I'm truly looking forward to meet him again.

Be the best, my couch is waiting for you in Athens.

I do have tons of delightful memories of parties together with even some unforgettable (at least for me ;o) videos on Youtube!

Moreover he introduced me to his couchsurfing friends in a birthday party like if I were living in Paris all my life. Always ready for the party and for helping, he made me understand the meaning of being ambassador. Finally, don't forget to ask him for his night adventures ... hehe

Julien is from the first sight very calm person. After some beers and shots he will help you doing some nice mess;) in your dormitory. So it's great he can find himself in each situation.

Sometimes you meet people and start to wonder how they can be so good, have such positive attitude and be so selfless in doing it…
Well…Julien is definitely one of them....
He’s the most experienced couchsurfer I’ve ever met, intelligent and very mannerly. But if there is only opportunity to have a fun…Julien feels like fish in the sea :)
He is so trustworthy that I would let him to sleep with my wife in the same bed ;)

What can I say about him?
Funny (don't take his jokes too serious), always open to party and a good car driver (thanks a lot for driving us so carefully to Lille)!! All in all a person u can't miss!

After 2 or 3 emails before surfing his couch, we got weirdly an "old-friends complicity"...shall I say Julien became to me very quickly "bichette" or other very kind name! No more explanations needed to describe how great was our only few hours together...same rotten jokes, taste for apero (wanna taste everything in your bar:-) and a meal swapped for sausage and pistachios! As a knight in the kingdom of the parties, you shouldn't rely on him to let you sleep early! Next...

He was giving, accomodating, and made sure that my last day and nights in the city were great.

Julien is one of our fellow members of the 'Parisian CS gang', that I used to meet here in there in parties when I lived in the 'City of lights'.
Plus he now helps out with getting a Collective organised in Paris, summer 07, so we became co-workers and just shared a lovely WE in Auvergne building team spirit.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time with Julien, but he seemed like an easy going person and he's welcome on my couch any day ;-)

Yeah Julien ! This guy is amazing :) Takes work the good way, enjoy traveling and meeting people, great party buddy, and dedicated CS helper ! He has already lived a long life of traveling, don't miss a chance to listen to his stories. He came to the CS meeting in NYC at midnight with his backpack and no place to sleep, and found a couch in less than one hour !!

There is so much to say about this chap named Julien. I stayed with him for a couple of nights and on the first night we went to a party and hung out with the local couchsurfers. We both had a great time together and he made me feel really comfortable at his flat. Julien left a good impression on me that lasted the entire time I was in France. He made my travels a lot more interesting and memorable. Thanks for sharing your home with me Julien! I welcome you to Northern California!

Julien arrived on a super rainy day in New York, and still he was super cool and not stressed by the bad weather. I enjoyed talking with him about his various trip around the world. I recommend Julien for your Couch.

Julien! If it wasn't for you I may well be on the streets of Paris by now... as it turned out I now have some good memories of your inventive bike riding skills, admirable drinking skills, and your brilliantly subtle sense of humour! Thankyou so much for hosting me and Nick at er...2 minutes notice! If you're visiting Paris surf with this easy-going interesting knowledgeable guy!

Julien is a good time and a benevolent host in Paris - on a couple of my dark days away from my dissertation, Julien was there to draw out the steam, drink fabulous whiskey, and rattle off by the side of various Parisian sites and scenes. He is a good, low-key compatriot for nights in the city. Hit him up if you can!
