Marc's place is fantastic! the neighborhood is awesome, it is as quiet as promised, and we even heard the nuns singing their prayers at sunset behind apartment across the courtyard. Marc keeps his place spotlessly clean, he cleared out shelves and some hanging space in the closet for us to use, and the bed is great. it was toasty warm when it was chilly out, and the patisserie down Rue N. de Champs is delicious for breakfast. Not expensive, either. Walk to the Jardin de Luxembourg if it is a good day, and try one of hte small restaurants right down the street. Skip St Germain des Pres, with the tourists!
