Nicolas' place is a wonderful flat in the Marais. It was perfect for our family of four and we loved coming back after a long day of travel to relax there. There are many shops, restaurants and groceries in the surrounding area and there are all supplies needed to make simple dinners at home. It can get hot, but it's summer in France so this is expected! Just close the drapes and windows in the morning when it starts to heat up and then open them in the afternoon and you'll be all right. :)
