It is hard to put into words our feelings about Dominique and Erik. They were incredibly kind, helpful, generous, funny, and welcoming. Dominique was especially helpful in explaining little important practical and cultural details. She also helped us purchase transportation and museum tickets. They spoke French with us almost exclusively and were patient and clear in their conversations. Their home is lovely and the studio of Erik's grandfather (painter and interior designer André Mare) is a special and unique part of France's art history, right outside of our bedroom. Jean-Rene "BouBou" the cat was so sweet. Thank you so much for being an important part in our dream come true vacation.
