Catherine and Ludovic were exceptionally kind, generous and helpful hosts. Before we stayed at their place since we were in Paris, we asked if we could visit because our traveling companions had some special requests. They promptly arranged for us to stop by.
The apartment gives directly on the Panthéon. From their living room, there are large windows which frame this beautiful building. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the Luxembourg gardens which reflect Parisian life throughout the day from early morning where parents, nannies accompany the children to school to lovely strolls through the park with a myriad of activities (tennis, basketball, children sailing model boats). For those garden lovers, their is exact craftsmanship apparent in all the designs and varieties.
The apartment is a 15-30 minute walk to much of central Paris.
The apartment is spacious, gracious for entertaining, with many different places to give guests places to read, work or just have their space. The bedrooms are very quiet.
We've known this area since the mid-70's when we were married in the city hall a two minute walk from the apartment but we had a newfound appreciation for the beauty of this vibrant, yet peaceful neighborhood.
Enjoy~
