We visited Paris with our two children (5 and 8) to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday.
Because we were arriving in the evening and wouldn't be able to go out with our two children, I arranged in advance for meats, crudités, cheeses, bread, wine and a tart to be prepared for when we arrived - as a surprise welcome for my husband.
Cécile arranged everything, choosing delicious food and a beautiful wine - even decorating the room with balloons and a banner and preparing the food so it was laid out beautifully on the table when we walked through the door. It really made our arrival so nice, and we had leftovers to eat the next day!
The apartment is chic and comfortable. It feels very warm and welcoming, with beautiful glass-doored bookcases filled with happy family memories, books and decorative objects.
Also, a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers sat in a vase at the entrance way while candles were lit on the table when we arrived. It all made a very nice ambiance.
Our children happily entertained themselves the entire weekend playing with the cupboard full of toys and the toy kitchen in the dining room. They also enjoyed playing the piano which is there.
One of the highlights of the stay was watching a film together on the huge projector screen with the sofabed made up so the kids could snuggle comfortably while watching. Netflix etc all available to watch on the movie screen - it was really cool!
In the morning we enjoyed fresh espresso from the Nespresso machine, which had an abundance of capsules for us to choose from. The little supermarket across the road had orange juice which you squeeze yourself fresh into the bottle from the machine and the bakery further down the road was delicious. We bought brioche, croissants, pain au chocolate and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast back in the apartment's airy dining room.
The beds were comfortable and the apartment was quite quiet - we all slept well.
Close to the apartment is a beautiful park with a great children's playground. My kids loved exploring it and sailing toy boats, which you can rent, in the lake.
The neighborhood is cool, with lots of nice boutiques and food places.
I would love to visit again. What a wonderful experience.
