Never in all my world travels have I had an experience to compare with my stay at Lea's apartment on the Rue Beaurepaire near the Canal de St. Martin. I came to Paris for a reunion with old friends and for the European premiere of Bangsokol:A Requiem for Cambodia. My friends arriving from England and Italy all agreed we felt as if we were staying in a much loved family home. The apartment is elegant, and yet also warm and comfortable. The neighborhood was delightful, including the nearby canal, whose banks seem to serve as a neighborhood gathering place. Many good restaurants and wonderful shops within blocks. We are all drawn to return if Lea will have us!
