Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: Depends I live in an open space (so no sex here please, I had to add this notice because 1 couple already try to as I was here!!!) with a mezzanine, so yes we are nearly in the same room, especially if you sleep in the bed, which is on the mezzanine like my bed. But don't worry, there is space between beds, take a look at the photos...
It's only when there are more than 3 couch surfers that some will have to share a bed, but it's a double one ;-)
First of all, here are next events in my public CouchSurfing calendar, but don't forget that I can accept 2, and sometimes 3 or 4 couch surfers, so don't stop on my calendar:
 I live alone (well, not alone, with some CSers who are now friends), and there is often some friends (and CSers) coming at home.
I have 2 double beds, a sofa, an optional inflatable double mattress that we can put on the floor, a simple bed and a hammock. First floor is about 30m² with opened kitchen, bathroom+WC, and the living room in which there is the sofa and the hammock, and where we can put the inflatable mattress. Second floor is a big mezzanine of 15m², with my double bed, the other double bed and the simple one.
 I don't have any pet.
 I'm near the bus  , the tram  and the metro  . See www.ratp.fr for more infos.
 I'm working between 9am and 6pm from Monday to Friday, and after I can introduce you to some people.
SOME RULES :
- During the week days, I leave at 8am and come back around 7pm, and you'll have to leave my place with me and come back around 7.30pm.
- Bring your sleeping-bag and towels, as there is a lot of CSers coming here, I'm not able to clean each day all linens and towels of course ( if you can't, ask me in your request).
- Don't forget you're not at your place, so respect the material, and keep each stuff you use at least as clean as it was before
- Read all my profile correctly, especially this section (Couch Information), I've put a real-time scheduler image, I don't want you to make a request if I specify in the scheduler that I can't host more CS, or I'm away from home...
- If you're requesting for someone, or for you and some friends, give me their profile's link, or talk a little about them, telling especially their names, age and gender
- If you have a quite empty profile (I'm not waiting for a novel), you'll maybe don't have any answer or a quick message asking you to fill your profile before anything else
- Your request's subject has to be like this: "!! CS REQUEST!! YYYY-MM-DD", where YYYY is the year, MM is the month number and DD is the day of the first night that you'll need a couch

Personal Description The water pipes broke so I have no watter at all in my house for now. If you don't care, you can still ask me for a couch ;-) This is my mobile, but I won't answer SMS sorry: +336 -63-55-63-59
  How and what's happening at home? Take a look at this group.
 I'm not very talkative. But I know how to make noise if we need to party.
People I've met thought at first that I was a little crazy, but ended up liking this madness.
 I like it when my friends or other people take some good times with me, even if I'm not for much.

 How I Participate in CS
I'm a member of the Tech Team and will do my best to improve the website. I'm full of ideas ;-)
I'm also a member of the French Translation Team CouchSurfing ExperienceInterests I like hanging out with friends, watching movies in my sofa, eating good old French dishes, riding roller-blades, having discussions (not for too long either  ), ... Philosophy Helping all people who could help you (or not) later, and who well understand the CouchSurfing concept. Music, Movies, Books Music: reggae, house/electronic, psychedelic, metal, blues and some rock, as you see I'm quite diversified in terms of music.
 Movies: I'm used to sleep in front of them
 Books: I'm used to sleep on them Types of People I enjoy Everybody who won't bother me! Teach, Learn, Share Almost all of you will help me to improve my English because, as you can read, I speak Frenglish, so to practice is the better way to learn.
What could I teach to you... that is a good question! I don't know, in most case I think I can help you to take some good times in Paris (or elsewhere), but it's not teaching... One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneSubscribing on CouchSurfing! Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project It's a very nice concept, I never tried to search such a website, but when a friend spoke to me about it, I subscribed immediately as if it was something I was searching for a long time, and after visiting nearly each navigation module/page on it, I adopted it.

Jun 20  Positive Pierre is an awesome host. Living with him is like a dream, there is always something fun happening in his house. I didn't mind that there was no running water because it reminded me of camping and it reminded me of the true value and scarcity of water on our planet, and how precious and essential this commodity we take for granted is. Pierre was very trusting and open. We had great times and adventures. Pierre and Paulo, I miss you already! Thanks for everything, and come visit me soon!  From Ben Hanna San Francisco, United States
Jun 16 Positive Pierre is a hysterical person. He brought a great deal of positive energy and laughter to our house for the time he was there. The guy carried two magnums of champagne all the way from France to Costa Rica for us!  From Weston Hankins Samara, Costa Rica
Jun 15  Positive We were first introduced by a common friend many months ago. Then we had a CS work-relationship for 6 months. We then lived together for 2 weeks. Now, he's almost like a brother. Pierre bonds with people easily and tightly. Looking for a new member in your "family by choice"? He's top quality. Pierre: when are you joining CS full-time? The door is wide open! You're always welcome.  From Annick and Jérôme ARFEUX Melun, France
Jun 15  Positive We met Pierre at "2009-06-13: Le Banquet des Gaulois !" after waiting for one year.
He is really as we thought, generous and talktative. He describe himself as a "mad man" ("Pedro Le Ouf"): it is true too.  From Faouzane Batiga Bures-sur-Yvette, France
Jun 14 Positive Yo pierre,
that guy is fucking crazy. he lacks one thing called common sense. He always in in for parties and going out. If you pass by paris you should definitely meet him !  From Jens Ramdor Amsterdam, Netherlands
Jun 9 Positive Met and stayed at Pierre's via Paoulo so last minute it was amazing! Really, we nearly ended up on the street and got saved and had such a nice time!!!! Really enjoyed every little second there and wanna say thanks so fucking much! Merci, merci, merci!!!  From Marco P. F.v.Vl. Cannes, France
Jun 2 Positive Ha ha, Pierre is one of those people you want to have around all the time; they arrived in the evening after a last minute request and were very flexible.
They even convinced me to join them going out during the festival and I don't regret it.
I'm glad I accepted his request and recommend everyone to do the same!
See ya this summer From Smaranda Voicu Bucharest, Romania
Jun 1  Positive i had my heart so little before seeing pierre, as a bag was found inh is plane and thought to be a bomb. so i couldn't wait for him to come.i liked the way we shared everything, hang around any corner of the street, walked through a terrible rain and got soaking wet, danced, laughed all the time. oh, i forgot to tell you he was kinda lucky to share the same bed with two girls, always in the middle. hehe...see you soon.huuugs
 From CYRILG San Jose, Costa Rica
May 23 Positive Pierre was a whirlwind of crazy fun at the Costa Rica collective. He arrived with one backpack, which had inside two giant bottles of champagne! Pierre is really cool, and im looking forward to hanging out in Europe this summer!  From Jessie Norden Upland, United States
May 23 Positive Pierre is a very funny guy, always kidding around and being generally wild and crazy. This party animal brought out the party animal in me (and the rest of the house) and it is hard to go back to having a minimal alcohol existence. If you are the kind of person who likes to stay up until 3 in the morning partying and chilling and drinking, then Pierre is your man. I hope to have more good times with you in Paris.  From SOL BRASIL London, United Kingdom
May 20 Positive Pierre is just great !
I'm lucky ! I and My friend Camila, could have a good time on Pierre's home. He is really very nice, helpfull, funy and much more qualities that I could write here. Thanks Pierre !

 From Andrew Farley Upland, United States
May 18 Positive Pierre calls ME crazy, but man, he's wild also. :) His sleeping hours are crazy, we likes to wake up early in the morning (5AM) while I'm still awake and share some coffee with me before I go to sleep shortly thereafter. :P Hehe, Pierre is a frenchman, what else can I say! :) He loves his coffee and his hand rolled cigarettes. Hope to see you again, maybe in France, maybe in the states. With CouchSurfing, who knows eh? :)  From LOUPSOURIANT Heredia, Costa Rica

Apr 17 Positive Well...I have to admit that i didn't really feel the vibe with Pierre when he sent me request to surf my couch.

Pierre is a genuine with a big heart.

His place is like the couchsurfing camp in Paris and you meet a lot of nice guys at his place. Pierre at least is very helpfull and a good master of ceremony.

Merci Mec  From Scott Morris Corvallis, United States
Apr 2 Positive I spent 4 nights at his place on an emergency bases. His place was great and even though he spent most of the time working on the weekend he was working for the sake of CS. He has to be one o the most enthusiastic people I have ever meet. I also meet a few other surfers while staying there that he was hosting.  From NATIPEY Montevideo, Uruguay
Mar 29 Positive Pierre is such a nice guy and the perfect example of being a cs. He and his friends, Paulo, Egle and Nikki made us feel at home, and that's because Pierre is hospitality, fun and cuteness. Thank you very much for showing us the nicest and real Paris. We love you guys!!
Los "señores". From Anick-Marie Bouchard Groningen, Netherlands
Mar 19 Positive Pierre is a maniac host, meaning he's willing and sharing and easygoing and he loves CS with an energy that makes me sometimes wonder if I'm a volunteer compared to him. His couch is comfy, a bit smoky but the ambiance is relax and the crew is very friendly. You don't have an oven? I didn't notice :) Sorry for the abandoned luggage. Hope to see you soon!

Hey yeah... after hosting more than 100 CSers, I couch surfed myself for the first time in November 2008! Haha, great experience, I was in the 2nd French Ambassador's meeting in Nantes. I had a bedroom at my hosts' place! In my place I even don't have a bedroom, because it's an open space, so I was better than at home! Thanks Tiphaine & Seb ;-)
