Phillipe met us at the apartment as planned at about 10:30am. Apartment is well situated for Eurostar arrivals/departure to Gare du Nord. (10 minute walk) This was fortunate as our train arrived from London at about 9:50 and allowed us to start our day touring after an apartment briefing from Phillipe. We had five in our group and that is about the maximum I would recommend. Gare de l'Est metro is about a 5 minute walk and can get you to all of Central Paris sites in 20-25 minutes or less. Accomodations were fairly modest, but comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.
