Christine’s place is close to the Metro station Hotel De Ville and other stations. They are quite easy to use and close together. Hang on though! The trains move fast!! BHV department store is definitely worth a look. There are lots of cafes, restaurants and shops close by. If you purchase the Mobilis ticket at the train station machine for the Metro you can travel for 24hrs. We used the trains to see all the major attractions. Christine’s place is in a very trendy area of Paris, Le Marais with lots to see. The building is so charming with lots of history in the area. Christine gives you lots of tips and the apartment is very cosy and comfortable.
