Valerie's home is a perfect example of "What you see, is what you get!", but in this case, MORE! It's clean, well organized, spacious, and had a smart T.V. equipped with NETFLIX...Woohoo! A huge plus when you have kiddos. It truly felt like home while we were there. In fact, we took the train to Deauville for one evening and stayed at the Normandy and as luxurious as it was, we couldn't wait to get back to Valerie's home in Marais. We would most definitely stay in her beautiful home again! Oh, and although the housekeeper did not speak a word of english, she is as sweet as can be. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!
