This was a great experience! I would highly recommend it. It was refreshing to be in a part of Paris (Chinatown - 13th Arrondissement) that was not touristy. That said, it was a relatively quick Über, subway, and tram ride away from any area we needed to get to. The area had several well-stocked grocery stores, department stores, restaurants (MICHELIN Bib Gourmand), and even a twice-weekly farmers market that were clutch for our family.
