Alain's place was way beyond our expectation. It is an ideal location minutes from the Louvre, restaurants, souvenir shops, cafes and pastry stores. We were greeted by Johanna who did a wonderful job giving us a tour of the place, recommending restaurants and the best mode of transportation. When we had questions about the studio, Sacha was quick to provide an answer. My wife and I would highly recommend Alain's place to anyone planning a vacation in Paris.
