I enjoyed a great week here in this very Parisian area. It is near the Metro and buses and the fun but crowded Buttes aux Cailles area, but is a relaxed family oriented area with great shops and even a small park across the street. Jacqueline was a wonderful host-- very understanding and patient when I had delays in arriving because of the rail strikes. A great place for those who want to feel they are really living in Paris. Merci bien, Jacqueline!
