Absolutely delightful. Can there be any greater luxury than having a whole house and garden to yourselves in Paris? We spent a very relaxing week in Francoise's beautiful home, enjoying being in an untouristy but very lively part of Paris. Good transport links mean that you are in central Paris in no time, but it was a pleasure to come home every evening to escape from the tourist hoards that can overwhelm much of the centre..

Although there are plenty of restaurants locally, we tended to have our evening meal at home (thank you Monoprix and Picard!) because it was so lovely to sit in the conservatory/dining room and listen to the rain hammering on the roof (we had dreadful weather!) and look out over the charming garden.

Francoise was an excellent host, very responsive to my emails and was extremely welcoming on our arrival.

In short, I would highly recommend this rental, particularly for people who want to savour Paris at leisure. I would be more than happy to return and will certainly be recommending it to friends
