Sophie’s flat was perfect for visiting Paris for the Ryder Cup as well as being within walking distance of some of the city’s main attractions.
I needed to walk to Gare d’Austerlitz for the earliest train to Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines at 4:59 am as the metro doesn’t start until 5:30 am, so the flat’s location was great for that.
The bath was nice to lie in after a long day walking around Le Golf National and the bathroom also has a nice modern sink.
No space to walk around the large double bed but that didn’t matter at all as I slept very well on the comfy medium-to-firm mattress.
Situated in a great location with the Seine being practically at the bottom of the street and Notre Dame being a 10 minute walk away (where I heard the most beautifully clear female voice singing during a 5:30 pm service).
On ‘google maps’, found 5+ small supermarkets and several boulangeries within half a mile and further away than JUSSIEU metro came across adjoining streets with around 80 cafes, restaurants, takeaways, bars etc... (CARDINAL LEMOINE metro is slightly nearer to the flat than JUSSIEU).
Favourite museums were Musee D’Orsay and Musee de l’Orangerie with the most beautiful impressionist paintings, sculptures etc. Close to these are the Louvre (magnificent stone building) and Jardin des Tuileries where you can sit around fountains to rest your feet and admire the gardens.
