We loved staying on Ille St Louis in a lovely classic building. The tiny glass elevator, saving us from climbing flights of stairs, is a wonderful new addition. The apartment has has numerous windows and cross breezes to keep it cool and comfortable. All windows face lovely, quiet courtyards so there is no city noise.
The island has everything needed for daily life. Many small restaurants offer a variety of choices. We loved the tiny ones where the owner? took our order, went into the kitchen and cooking aromas soon came out. Shortly, our delicious food was served with a smile.
The location feels safe, comfortable, and friendly. It is within easy walking distance of many Paris attractions. The Batobus was fun. Stops at Notre Dame and Hotel de Ville are an easy walk away. We used it to get around and sometimes took the long way around just to rest and relax for a while.
Mathieu was very helpful in promptly answering the many questions we had. He went above and beyond in answering questions and suggesting activities that would interest children.
