Christel's place is so charming and well situated -- the look out the window and the immediate environment is like something Americans only experience in a theme park -- beautiful ancient plant trellised walls in a quite corner paved with delightful cobblestones in its own traffic-free three street corner neighborhood. Ideal for families with children; if we had had more time we would have enjoyed just sitting and sipping tea and reading the wonderful selection of books they have, improving our french.
The nearest metro is only a 5 minute walk away -- very easy to get to, and it is the number 7 pink line which leads directly to the areas of Notre Dame, the Rive Gauche, the Latin Quarter, and the Louvre. It also is the same line as the Gare de Est train station that we used to get to Paris from Frankfurt Germany and back so it was super convenient, especially with a baby and a baby carriage.
The family is delightful, speaking French and English and wonderful to talk to about subjects ranging from literature to film.
Highly recommended! We would definitely like to retun and stay in the same place the next time we come to Paris!
Merci!
