Eric’s apartment is an intimate rooftop refuge in a perfect location in the lively Saint-Germain-des-Pres neighborhood—In the midst of shopping, cafes, bistros and around the corner from multiple metro stops and short walk to the Seine, Notre Dame, Louvre, etc. It’s well worth the climb to the fifth floor walkup for the light, air and simple style of this writer’s retreat. Eric is a very responsive host with great recommendations (his English is excellent!). We’ll be back!
