Valerie's place definitely is a charming artist's atelier in a lovely, private courtyard, just as the picture shows. It is calm and quiet and the large windows give lots of light. Perfect to rest or work and very convenient to get around Paris. We arrived late at night and it was a really nice touch that Valerie left us coffee and juice. We had a cup of coffee on the terrace in the morning, before strolling round the corner for our baguette. She is a friendly and helpful host. It suited us perfectly and we hope to go back.
