We spent a wonderful month in Paris with glorious weather, only three rainy days. We were able to finally exploit the number 96 bus and get connected to the City with no trouble. There is also a number 26 bus that takes you to the Opera and department stores. We used 96 to get across the river and to explore. The number 1 Metro is also about a 10 minute walk or you can take the 96 to meet it if you feel like you are dragging (wink). The apartment is well located for getting around.
