We were sad to leave “our” beautiful Little House in Paris and will dream of it often from our home in NZ. This place is special, if I were you I would book it immediately and here’s why…

It feels like home - Segire has a great eye for design and she has set the house up in a generous and thoughtful way. The house is actually an old converted leather factory, so it is brimming with character. The kitchen is well set up for cooking, useful ingredients in the fridge and cupboards, toiletries in the bathroom, interesting books fill the walls etc. It also has several features which are hard to find in Paris, it is filled with light, it is on the ground level (so no lifts or stairs) and it is very spacious, so great for larger groups (worked very well for our extended family and friends).

The location is awesome - We were tossing up whether to get a place in St Germain or here and we are so pleased we picked Canal St Martin. It’s less touristy, more energetic, creative and interesting. 2 minutes walk away is Rue Lancry, which has lovely fruit and veg shops, bakeries, butchers, cheese, wine and delis. And the transport links are fabulous, so close to Gare de Nord and Gare L’est (two of the major train stations).

Segire is lovely - What a wonderful host, quick to respond, great ideas and tips, including flea market recommendations which led to some of our best market finds.

Thanks for a great stay, hope to see you over on our side of the world in the future :)
