We enjoyed our stay in the little flat in the 19de Arr. very much. It is located close to a metro station of line 5 which stops at Gare du Nord which is convenient for travelers from the North. As important is the lively neighborhood with its shops, cafés and restaurants. We sat every day on the terrace at the other side of the street under the beautiful old trees. As there was a heat wave during our stay (over 30 degrees) we had to adapt our program. Instead of visiting the crowded historic city center we explored the immediate area: the Parc Buttes Chaumont, Parc de la Villette, Canal Saint Martin and even made a boat trip of 2 1/2 h. We can recommend this trip as it brings to life 19th century, industrial Paris with its trade and shipping over these chain of canals. We were impressed by the locks, swing and lift bridges, warehouses and the urban renewal in this arrondissement.
Laure and her husband were great hosts. When we were in problems Laure helped us immediately and efficiently.
For lovers of 19th and 20th century architecture, a neighborhood with a young and mixed cosmopolitan population we can highly recommend this flat.
