History
Established in 2007.
Educated as a pharmacist in a family where hosting and good food was a way of life, having worked in the Montorgueil area as a student, then owning a Pharmacy on rue Montorgueil when life took a turn for me, I naturally went into hospitality business in the Montorgueil Village. I started running both a BnB in the South West of France 9months/year while renting the apartment, and living the 3 Winter months on rue d'Argout. Then I decided to come back to Paris full time and run Argout as a BnB all year round (2013). I love what I do. Along the years, guests have brought me many positive feelings in return of my attentive hosting. I believe in culture (via Food, art, history) to connect, to open our minds, to exchange, to stay tolerant and welcoming. I like meeting you, guests, helping you making the most of your stay, guiding you -as long as you would like it- according to your expectations. I never impose if you prefer more independence.
