What a great place to stay, full of charm and personal touches. Easy to get to by public transport - Francoise is a very gracious host, and she gave us detailed directions from Gare du Nord. Cafes, restaurants, patisserie's, supermarkets are just a couple of streets away on Rue de Bretagne, and check out the covered market there for great food - (Marche des Enfants Rouges) Lots of interesting shops and galleries and the gorgeous Place des Vosges is just a short walk away. We took a picnic dinner there and watched the world go by. We thoroughly recommend this area to stay in, and the charming accomodation.
