    Bonjour Adrien,

    I am going to Paris and staying at a duplex this fall and was curious if I
    am greeted with Bienvenue from the host do I respond with Enchanté or Bonjour.

    Merci beaucoup,

    Celeste Schwab

      You could answer Merci! an then follow up with with Bonjour! Enchanté is used after somebody introduces themselves… Je m’appelle Pierre… Enchanté!
