Bartholomew-Poyser: WFH- Paris

Montmartre, with its charming cobblestone streets and artistic heritage, presents an ideal environment for you while you consider areas to live and work remotely.

The area is steeped in history, having been home to famous artists like Picasso and Van Gogh, inspiring creativity and innovation. Its vibrant cafés offer cozy spaces with free Wi-Fi, perfect for productivity, while the stunning views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica provide a picturesque setting for moments of inspiration.

Additionally, Montmartre's strong sense of community fosters connections with both locals and fellow remote workers, making it not just a place to work but also a place to grow and engage in a rich cultural experience.

The blend of art, culture, and a conducive working atmosphere makes Montmartre a unique and captivating choice for remote living.

F.A.Q.

WHAT TIME IS THE CHECK IN TO THE ACCOMMODATIONS?

Check in at your accommodations will not be until 12pm.

  • Since this is a private accommodation and not a hotel, there will be no option to hold your luggage securely until check in.


Are meals INCLUDED?

No meals are not included.

Can I pay by Zelle?

Yes!

We started taking Zelle payments last month and we found this to be a fast and FREE way to pay!
For those who don’t know what Zelle is… it is very much like a wire transfer (but it is not a wire transfer).

Everyone’s bank is different, though, so you may want to call/go in to your local bank and ask to have the maximum amount available to transfer every day.

Example: Some banks only allow $500/day transfer. Other banks will allow $1200/day.

Always be careful when making payments through Zelle to people that you do not know. There is no protection guarantee provided and you cannot reverse the fee.

The Pros for using Zelle:

  • It is FREE (no processing fees)!

  • It is instantaneous (funds will go directly to Zone Travel- so this is the absolute fastest way to make a payment)

The Cons for using Zelle:

  • Every bank is different when it comes to maximum amount available to be transferred every day. So, this may mean that you need to make multiple payments to Zone Travel, multiple days in a row.

  • It does require an app download onto your phone, and you need to set up your account with your bank information.

Can I pay by check?

Yes!

If you would like to avoid the 4%processing fees, you may pay by check.
It is very important that you pay in advance of the deadlines and allow ample time for delivery.

Payments received after the deadline could result in cancelation of your reservation or increased fees.

There are two ways to pay by check:

  • Mail the check

  • Deposit directly at a local branch
