We just returned from two weeks in France, starting our trip in Paris at Isabelle and Herve’s charming apartment. Isabelle was wonderful with our booking last year and promptly answered my random questions prior to arrival. My husband and I were traveling with a female friend. Isabelle advised taking a set rate taxi ( 55eu) from CDG since there were three of us. Best advice ever! We were tired and the taxis were outside, right where she said they would be. BTW, if you are approached by a taxi driver INSIDE the airport, it’s a scam. Just say no, and go to the curb where taxis have a set rate. We got into town a bit earlier than we expected (2:00pm vs 3pm). As advised, we texted once we got the taxi to let them know we were on our way. Isabelle’s husband Herve was to meet us at the apartment, but he was running a little behind, so he suggested we get a drink at a cafe right by the apartment and he would meet us there. It worked out perfectly! He gave us all the apartment info, showed us around, and explained how everything worked. There is also a book that they have written as well, with apartment info and tour suggestions. They kindly left a beginning stock of coffee, snacks, eggs, etc to get us started. Additionally, at my request, Isabelle made dinner reservations for our friend’s 60th birthday at a restaurant that we had chosen. She even let the staff know that it was her birthday and our friend was serenaded with a song and birthday candle on her dessert. So special! We gave our friend the lovely bedroom for her privacy while my husband and I took the Murphy bed in the dining room. It all worked out fine. The apartment is charming, filled with light, art and books. We loved the balcony for wine at night and it was a great central location for touring everywhere. Our only disappointment was in not meeting Isabelle, but Herve was a wonderful host. Merci for a fantastic start to our vacation!
