Louise's place was great! We loved the location and walked pretty much everywhere. I had made advanced dinner reservations but really didn't need to because there are so many restaurants within walking distance. There are coffee shops, bakeries and grocery stores all close by. There were six of us and it was very comfortable and very secure. Tips for exploring Paris- 1. Make advanced ticket reservations for any museums! 2. Take a Big Bus tour the first day to get the lay of the land. Bus stop 4 is about a 10 minute walk. 3. Visit Montmarte and Versailles (on different days). You can to both by train and neither are far and worth the trips. With the exception of Air France (in France) the locals in France were wonderful! Most people spoke English and if they didn't they could point you to someone who could. Thank you again Louise!
