Quentin's house is utterly charming - loads of gorgeous details to enjoy. The few neighbouring streets like his, are really green and all named after flowers make for a really lovely environment to come back to after a hot and sticky day in the city. A few times we saw tourists taking pictures of our street, which was funny.
We really enjoyed being near to La Butte aux Cailles. It was lively and friendly- we noticed a few of the bars/ restaurants were collectives - sort of socialist meets hipster feel. And also near to China Town where we had a great unfussy Vietnamese served in record time.
