Christine's and Olivier's apartment in Paris 18th district (on the border
of the 17th) served us very well. It's in a hidden corner of Paris, on the
backside of Montmartre, famous for it's vineyard, but still largely a
secret, even among parisians. The apartment is very charming, clean, fully
equipped, very light and at walking distance of metro lines 4 and 13 which
together serve a wide variety of Paris top locations. Various bus lines
also connect downtown and to the railway stations. The neighborhood as
excellent shopping, a variety of restaurants, is at walking distance of
Europe's best flea market (see also Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris), and
the Montmartre scene. I know Paris well - I once lived there for a couple
of years - and found all it's charm back exploring the city with my kids,
using Christine and Olivier's place as our 'home.
