We have visited The Marais a dozen times, lodging each time at The Hotel Jeanne D'arc. We'd grown accustomed to the trade-off of small digs for a vibrant neighborhood, but loved The Richard Lenoir Market (Bastille) and hoped to know some of the possibilities an actual kitchen would afford. Marc & Sophie's is minutes away from The Marche, and in easy access to any shop for any purpose. The kitchen is of adequate size, and our home spun meals were more than satisfying. Our en suite room, overlooking the courtyard was quiet and comfortable. The shower was ample, the toilet and sink functional, albeit cramped. The water was hot, and the laundry would have been a perk, had we not chosen to go round the corner. The courtesies extended to us by Joseph, Marc & Sophie's son (and scholar in residence) were many, and truly appreciated. I look forward to our return, and hope to find a bef waiting at #18.
