Marie is an artistic soul with a lovely apartment that she is generous in sharing. We loved the neighborhood, which gives you a rich sense of multicultural contemporary Paris, an area where traditional Paris meets African and Middle Eastern immigrant communities, right down the road from the grand Paris Flea Market, but easy walking distance to the top of Montmarte. Her apartment has an artistic flair and shows a love of world art and culture. It also is next to a remarkable converted train track line that has been turned into a lovely community garden. It is at the end of a metro line, but with easy access to the heart of touristic Paris.
