The experience of the "City of light" was enhanced by our hosts and our accommodations. The day we arrived we were not only greeted very warmly by Vinciane and Frank but they both insisted on lugging our heavy luggage up to the studio. After sharing a bottle of champagne to celebrate our honeymoon, Frank gave us a very colorful and detailed history of the building - Joan of Arc was imprisoned there- and Vinciane shared the names of a few restaurants and directions to them. The apartment is in a great area right off a main street (Rue De Rivoli) and close enough to a great many sights to walk. There are 4 terrific Boulangeries on the corners and you're a block away from Vosges. My concern prior to arriving was how comfortable the mattress would be for my back. It was as good as my Tempur-pe-dic at home. Additional pluses were the great coffee-maker and the shower stall. But, the biggest plus was our new friends, Vinciane and Frank. The only negative was that it was very hard to leave such wonderful hosts.
