Marvelous flat in Saint-Germain that made us feel like we were living out our Parisian dreams!
The building and flat are historical gems with fresh, modern conveniences. Jacques and his team were easy to communicate with, they clearly know how to run a successful vacation rental business! We enjoyed opening all the windows and taking in all the sights and sounds of Saint-Germain, we even enjoyed the sound of the rain too. We also didn't mind being on the 5th floor, the lift was great to bring up our luggage, but we would usually challenge ourselves to take the stairs after visiting multiple pâtisseries and boulangeries each day.
The street is relatively quiet considering how close you are to some of the best spots in Paris. We walked just about everywhere, though there are two metro stations that are a couple blacks away. Within a block or two of the flat: Les Antiquaires for dinner —one of our favorites, be sure to grab an outdoor table. Eclipses for pastries — the owner and his staff were super friendly and the charcoal chocolate was phenomenal! Monoprix is a local grocery chain that is well stocked with just about anything you would need, we enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice each morning.
