In a nice courtyard sits a coffee table for two, a little breeze brush through the bamboo leaves, it's comfy and quiet. On a warm day you would sit here for your morning coffee or kick your feet up in the afternoon with a good book and a glass of wine.
This courtyard is the entrance that leads to Francoise's appartment. What am I saying..appartment, it's more of a house really ! With two floors.
On the groundfloor, you'll find the kitchen, the dining room and the living room in one big open space, the ceiling is high, the volumes are generous, you will feel right at home from the beginning, it's an harbour of peace in the midst of a buzzing city. The perfect place to restore yourself after a long day of visiting Paris.
On the first floor you will find two bedrooms, a boudoir, and the bathroom. There's also two separate toilets one upstairs, one downstairs. The place is perfect for a small familly but even if you have no kids, it is still a great pick as you will appreciate the warmth, tranquility and atmosphere that the place provides.
A home is a very personal thing and the personality of the owners transpires. You will find Francoise and her companion's place very friendly, welcoming, and warm. It's furnished with taste, filled with great books and arts. Actually my girldfriend and I spent a great deal of time reading and browsing through their collection of books. The only danger is you may tend to forget what you came to Paris for in the first place, so much you enjoy just staying "home"!
The surrounding is great, you are in a very quiet street but yet very close to all amenities and the hotspots of Paris. Nearby you'll find café where to have your espresso, boulangerie to get your French baguette, florist to buy a romantic bouquet for your rendez-vous.. wine shop, cheese shop..etc, you will have your little habits and live like a real Parisian in no time. And while you are here, don't forget to have a stroll at the Butte Chaumont and Parc de Belville nearby in order to enjoy great views of the city from the heights of the French capital.
