Jean-Michel’s clean, open well-appointed “Batignolles” apartment was the perfect “perch” for our family of three to take advantage of a short stay in the same neighborhood where our old friends live. It’s on the busier edge of this hip, increasingly family-orientated area also not far from Montmartre. Additionally, the location is exceptional for those visitors seeking to take in the amazingly entertaining (after you’ve done all the other stuff) Saint Ouen Marche aux Puces (flea market open most Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays only)—an easy 25 minute walk. We will definitely return!
