Working and Playing en Famille

In today's global economy, people are often required to go to other countries in the
course of their work, often for weeks or even months at a time. Rather than go solo and
miss time with the family, many of these "temporary transferees" want to bring their
families along. They therefore seek accommodations that will allow them to work while
their families explore a new place.

If a businessman is coming to Paris on business this summer wants to bring his wife
and kids (son, 10 years and daughter, 8 years). How can he mix business with pleasure
in terms of accommodation? What activities can a family pursue while Dad is on front of
the computer screen? Who better to ask than Paris residential living expert, Claude
Chaouloff, Executive Director, www.parisluxeapt.com . Yes, Claude's apartments are
pricey and luxurious but he has a cracker jack team in both Paris and NYC able to cater
to the needs of a modern day family.

It is very easy to mix business with family pleasure in Paris, but we may have a problem.
How will Mr. Dad be able to concentrate on work when his family is having so much fun!
Paris absolutely loves children.

There are events and activities at any time of year, but the summer months are
especially full of choices for kids. There are puppet shows and carnival rides in the
parks, a children's boat tour on the Seine, and a Magic Museum with a magician on
hand to thrill and amaze. Naturally, there is Disneyland Paris-a distinctly European
version of the famous Disney parks.

The best bet for accommodations is to rent an apartment in the city, Paris Luxe offers a
wide range of apartments that are excellent for families. All are furnished with home
entertainment equipment as well as dedicated home office space, high speed Internet
connection, and other business-oriented amenities.
The best way to set the family up for maximum enjoyment is to take advantage of the
Paris Luxe concierge service. Our staff is very kid-friendly, and will provide excellent
suggestions for things to do that will meet children's approval. They will also procure
tickets, arrange transportation, or provide whatever other services will let the family
concentrate on enjoyment rather than logistics.
