Fabienne's place was just what we needed for a 3 day visit to Paris. The canal was a nice feature; all the locals would sit by the canal on eves of holidays and weekends. During our stay, we walked to/from both Gare de Nord and l'Est, which made connections to Eurostar, CDG, and all of Paris very easy. It was enjoyable to spend our days outside and come back to a relaxing home. There is a supermarket in the same block on the canal side a very short walk away, though we didn't know about Ascension day and that everything closes early. Although we did not meet Fabienne, she was very responsive prior to and during our stay. Merci Fabienne!
