I just spent 5-6 fabulous days with Claire and Pascal in their charming very French 5th floor apartment (with beautiful antique elevator)...located in a very handy position.
If you want to stay somewhere where you really feel how the French live then I can thoroughly recommend staying with Claire and Pascal.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful... and made me feel very welcome.
The room is spacious, quiet and full of old world charm... the bed is comfortable and there is a large desk for a laptop etc...
Breakfast each day consists of coffee and croissant in their marvellous kitchen.
If you like walking, as I do, you can quite easily walk to all the major attractions otherwise public transport is just a few steps from the front door.
All in all a wonderful experience....
