Pascale was a great host. We arrived earlier than the regular check in time and she accommodated us graciously. She is a very chic elegant woman as is her apartment. She bought us croissants and a delicious bottle of wine. So nice!! The apartment is in a wonderful location in a very historic building. Very calm and quiet apartment. I stupidly broke a baking dish and she was very gracious about that too. One thing- she has a typical French shower with a hand held nozzle. It did not bother me at all since I lived in France for a long time and had one too but it might be awkward for some people. I cannot wait to return!
