Christine and Eric’s unique home was the perfect place to begin our stay in Paris. It is not a classic pierre-de-taille building but rather a beautiful, loft-like, stand-alone house inside a courtyard. It is close to busy streets, and restaurants and shops for anything you need are in walking distance, but at the place itself it is profoundly peaceful. Soaring ceilings and windows on two sides give the ground floor a feeling of expansiveness but the house is also cozy and warm. I was just there with my son so we had abundant space but it could easily accommodate a family of four, with two bathrooms. Sleeping there was restorative. The deck/garden runs the length of the house and is mindfully designed with flowering plants and outdoor seating areas. We had a really delightful stay.
