Absolutely loved staying here. Beatrice and Paul were consummate hosts.
I enjoyed their company at breakfast and breakfast was just delightful. Beautiful fresh bread and croissant, a real taste of France.
The location is very central yet quiet. I walked to the Eiffel Tower (45 minutes) and the Arc de Triomphe. Galleries Lafayette was just a 10 minute walk.
Once you’ve done it once, catching the metro is easy and fun. At the time of writing, 1.90 Euro will get you anywhere on the metro.
If you’re interested in World War 1 history, then I highly recommend taking the train from Gare de L’Est to Meaux. It was 5 Euro each way and the Musee De La Grand Guerre is amazing. Entry is only 10 Euro but you need to get an Uber there and back as it’s about a 10 minute drive from the train station at Meaux. Well worth the effort and something a little different to climbing the Eiffel Tower.
I really enjoyed my time in Paris and it was made all the nicer staying with Beatrice and
Paul.
