What an amazing experience! We were met and invited into the family residence on the 3rd floor and invited to lunch on the Seine as it was our wedding anniversary. Helene's family is so generous with their hospitality and made us feel like part of the family instead of guests - what a great time we had with them! The apartment long ago used to be a maid quarters and is on the 7th floor - YES there is a small lift so no climbing all those stairs - and the view was unbelievable - the Seine on one side the Notre Dame on the other. And talk about location - the heart of Paris on Cite. We are already talking about booking for next year!
