Wow, we've just had the BEST stay in Paris. In the middle of everything and right around the corner from Notre Dame. It is a really lovely place. Because of the location we were able to see much more of Paris than we would have otherwise. We could come back, have a break in the middle of the day for the kids to recharge, and then go out again. The metro and buses are so close. Make sure you read the manual for local tips (we used an awful Franprix which we stumbled across, but the Carrefour listed in the manual was so much better! ) Place is very secure and Jean great to deal with. We highly recommend!
