A few steps from the beautiful Place des Vosges, Nicole’s apartment is a perfect place to stay. The apartment had everything we needed: a comfortable bed, a lovely little kitchen, a good shower and a nice seating area. Nicole gave us lots of excellent recommendations for restaurants, several of which we tried. The Italian Dice was particularly good. Nicole also helped us out booking a taxi to Gare du Nord.
In terms of location, we walked everywhere, although there were Metro stations nearby, seeing the Victor Hugo (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Miserables) museum in the Place des Vosges, the Musee d’Orsay, Notre Dame to check out the reconstruction after the fire, the Ile Saint Louis with the great St Regis cafe and we sought out the location and the fountain written about in Pure by Andrew Miller. If you have never read it, I recommend it!
We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would happily return to Nicole’s apartment and Paris (any time). Thanks Nicole for everything.
