Laurence has a lovely, beautifully decorated apartment in a fantastic location in the 1st. She was a perfect host and even left us a bottle of champagne to toast our arrival in Paris. Being so close to the Palais Royale was a special treat. Just a five minute walk from the flat, it was great to start the morning with an excellent cup of coffee at Cafe Kitsune while planning the rest of the day sitting in the beautiful arcade and gardens of the Palais Royale. There are so many incredible things to see and do within walking distance from the apartment and so many great restaurants nearby that you might find yourself needing to plan your next trip to Paris when you realize at the end of your stay you hardly left the area because you enjoyed the surrounding attractions and restaurants so much.
