Virginie's apartment was larger and grander than we expected. It was perfect for my husband, our daughter, her boyfriend, and myself. Virginie's son, Quentin, and his wife, Raphaelle, were responsive and flexible about our arrival and departure times. Like most Paris apartments, it is not air conditioned but we found that if we opened the windows when we came in in the evening, the apartment quickly cooled off and even after we'd closed the windows remained comfortable through the night. We were glad there was a free standing rack in the hallway because there was no place otherwise to hang clothes.
