When you come to Paris you can just visit and see the sites, but if you want to make the most of your trip, you need to experience Paris. Staying with Laurent and Isabelle in their separate private apartment is experiencing Paris. The rooms are very clean, safe and overlook the village square that stimulates the life of the little Parisian neighborhood. All around you are the sounds of shops, restaurants, and jazz musicians painting the walls of the little village square with the sounds of Paris.
When we arrived, we were greeted at the door by Isabelle’s warm welcoming smile and her beautiful daughter Rose. Isabelle and Laurent were great at helping us get settled and they keep the beamed ceiling, skylighted apartment clean and ready to provide the perfect Parisian vacation. There is a full kitchen that we did use for breakfast a few times, but mostly we ate out at the excellent local restaurants in the square.
The apartment is convenient to all Paris sites. You can walk to the Louvre if you want but Paris is all about walking. You might want to save the steps for the museums. I have stayed further away on a previous trip and regretted the time it takes to get into the center. This is very close. Grab a coffee and croissant in the morning and you will be browsing the booksellers along the river and walking amongst the Da Vinci’s and Van Gogh’s before you know it. Just don’t forget to admire the Roses.
