We (two adults and a 4-year-old) had a great short stay at Vanessa’s flat. In the past we’ve stayed in the Marais but we found Bastille a less touristy area but still within easy reach of the sites. Lots of lovely little shops and cafes in the area. We enjoyed Square Trousseau, a 5 min walk away - great bakery, restaurant and a little playground. The flat itself was comfortable and quiet. We hope to be back!
