Charonne is a very nice area of Paris. We found the apartment easily with the directions that Maguy had given us. We were greeted by Vivien , a friend of Maguy, who was very welcoming. We strolled around the area and found a lovely place to drink some wine and eat an assiette miste of salami and cheese. We had a lovely time in Paris and would love to return to the area. The room was big and airy and clean. In the morning we were left a fresh baguette and jams to have with coffee for breakfast. A delightful start to our holiday.
