We’ll just start off by saying, if you have the opportunity to stay in Laurence and Stefen’s home, do it! Located in the Marais, it is surrounded by sights, shops, and great restaurants. From this lively environment, you’ll enter a quiet courtyard leading to their cozy, comfortable, and character-filled home. Laurence greeted us not only with a baguette, croissants, and a bottle of wine, but also with a folder filled with information and suggestions on things to see and do in the immediate area and beyond. A friend asked what my favorite part of the trip was, and I said Paris, of course, but staying in this pleasant, peaceful place made it so much better.
