This Parisian home was an experience in itself. The moment we walked in up the old winding creaky stairway our whole family was just blown away by the bright eclectic and cheerful spaces this family has created. It was a gift to get to stay in their home. You felt very much that this is a loved and loved in home instead of a sterile chinsie rental. It had layers of care and aesthetic effort in every nook and cranny. We felt France in every detail.
You are on the tippy top of the building in the hip Marais neighborhood. You water the lovely flower boxes that line the windows looking out over rooftops into the distance sacre-coeur or the Eiffel Tower on the other side of the apartment. The apartment is fully equipped and appointed with all the finest details. Plenty of towels, wonderful hot shower. Lots of space to spread out and organize yourself for the day. My husband and I slept well in the loft master bed with skylights and the a/c that was unnecessary even in early august. The kids slept great in the bunk bed room off the hallway and had their own toilet. And grandma slept downstairs (by an internal spiral staircase) in her own bedroom with attached bath. It was lovely for her to get that area for herself. It was super quiet despite being in hip area of marais and close to it all. All the nooks and crannies plus the books for kids and the mini basketball hoop in grandma's room made it so kids were totally happy to laze around the house... but who has time when the sidewalks of Paris are awaiting right out the front door!!
What a gift to get to stay in your dear precious home Veronique and Thiery!
