Jacqueline’s charming apartment is an oasis of calm in the busy, bustling Bastille area. It was a treat to be greeted by Jacqueline who explained the appliances, amenities, and showed us provisions in the refrigerator that included a lovely bottle of champagne to get us started. We stayed for three weeks and loved that we could walk out the door and be on our way to Île la Cité, le Marais, Beaubourg and points beyond without taking the metro or bus. Experiencing the Thursday and Sunday Bastille Market was a highlight for the senses. The ability to cook in the well stocked kitchen allowed us to have “market to table” evening meals. We were sad to leave and would like to return at some future point. Thank you, Jacqueline, for your tips and kindness.
