ABOUT MONIQUE
During the summer of 2004, Monique, who likes to meet people, exchange views and share, created her first B&B in her previous apartment in the Ternes area, 17th district.
In 2008, she moved to the Batignolles area, also located in the 17th district, where she found the apartment of her dreams! It offers a beautiful terrace with trees on the last floor of a 1930s building, and a large idyllic view of the rooftops of Paris, as well as on the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre Cœur. She decided to continue her B&B activity here, a role which fits wells with her other job as a communication coach which she carries out from her home.
Moniques career is in the field of communication. After working as Communication and Marketing Manager in a company, she created her own communication agency though she has been retired since 2010.
As she was born in Alsace and lived in Germany in the past, she still understands German a little. She speaks very good English as she has travelled extensively for business all around the world and especially to the countries North of Europe, in Lapland and Russia. She is also learning Italian and hopes to be able to speak fluently within a few months.
Monique knows Paris very well and will always be happy to offer you her experience or help you to make reservations for shows, restaurants, etc.
