We spent five nights at Michaèle's apartment which was situated in the heart of the Marais, accessed through a beautiful quiet courtyard. The apartment had no street noise at all. We overlooked the garden and had a good view of St.Paul and the Panthéon. The apartment is charming and surrounded by attractive streets with numerous galleries, cafés, museums, one could probably stay within the district throughout one's stay. It is a fair walk to the Métro but what better thing to do in Paris than explore the Marais on foot.
Michaèle was a charming and helpful host who remained readily contactable throughout our stay. She very kindly provided some essential foodstuffs and some less essential but beautiful macaroons on our arrival.
Would be happy to return to this beautiful part of Paris at any time.
