Marie and I stayed in Michel's place in the Marais for five nights in total before going on to Joy Hollick's place in Normandy (cosy cottage). The flat is very centrally placed which was an absolute gift! The accommodation was spacious and comfortable The decor is great - contemporary complimented by some classic pieces - it really works. We were met, as arranged, and shown around swiftly and efficiently. EVERYONE we met in the apartment building was friendly: we mention this because, a) Parisians don't have this reputation, and also b) we were interlopers in their building. In short the apartment is a topper, we'll stay again if we can afford the time off!
