Cathy's duplex apartment in the colourful Menilmontant area near the Père Lachaise Cemetery is a real find. We stayed in this comfortable and well appointed small apartmentment for 4 days with our 2 x 18 year old boys.

There was plenty to see and do in the area with the incredible market at the end of our street that stretches for 1/2 km every Tuesday and Friday morning.

The walk to Père Lachaise Cemetery is about 10 minutes through a lovely part of Paris. Oscar Wilde's grave is easy to find and is near the entrance closest to the apartment but Jim Morrison's is on the other side of this huge cemetery and a bit trickier.

We met Cathy on our last day when checking out and she was friendly and genuinely interested in our stay.
