Michel must have plundered a bishop’s residence to furnish his Severine apartment. As can be seen in the photos, the motif is ecclesiastical, fitting for an apartment located between two important churches. Of course, we’re were hoping that the saint depicted in the stairwell’s stained-glass window was St. Denis, Paris’ patron saint. But probably not, since he isn’t carrying his own head. That said, the furniture is tastefully chosen and comfortable. The apartment is well-appointed. The two bathrooms have modern fixtures, and plush towels and bath gels are provided. The closets in the bedroom are ample. The location couldn’t be more central. We’ve stayed in this same neighborhood the last four times and love it. We walk to the Ile de la Cite, Ile St. Louis, St. Germain des Pres, and le Marais. For further-flung neighborhoods, the metro at Place St. Michel offers convenient connections. Finally, I have to sing the praises of Michel’s manager, Linda, and Sarah, his housekeeper. We had a small problem in the kitchen. Linda responded promptly, and enlisted Sarah, who was on the scene and solved the problem in minutes. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay in this professionally-managed apartment, and recommend it highly. And the apartment’s décor enhances the experience of staying in the historic center of Paris.
