Easy communication with Carole before we arrived and a wonderful apartment (modern and perfect location for us). We felt safe and secure.
So helpful having plates/glasses/cooking implements, towels and bedding in the apartment - we just had to visit the local supermarket for food supplies.
Particularly loved Au Canon for dinner out - one waiter in particular went out of his way to help us order and be understood in our very limited French.
I have a 12 and 16 year old and we enjoyed learning to use the Metro, walking around the city and seeing so many wonderful things.
