Heide's apartment was a wonderful base from which we explored Paris. It is truly a tranquil and beautiful oasis in a fantastic area of the perpetually busy city. Heide was very attentive and kindly checked in with us numerous times to ensure all was well. This area of Montmartre is very diverse, so there are a range of cuisines and shops around. Yet, just a few metro stops (or lovely walk) away brings you to Sacre Coeur and traditional brasseries and ambiance. Of all the places we visited in Paris, Montmartre remained our favorite and we were eager to return to Heide's apartment at the end of each day.
