Colette is a most wonderful, helpful and kind host.
Her apartment is cozy but well planned to function well. The kitchen has beautiful crockery and cutlery and is a pleasure to prepare a meal. Which, being so close to the Marche Aligre is an absolute pleasure. At this real local market the produce is superb and well priced, if like us you are travelling on a budget.
We loved everything about this neighbourhood. The people's are friendly and willing to help with my bad French. There are loads of great places to eat and some truly French bistrots mixed in with Vietnamese and African and great traditional zinc bars.
Staying at Colette's revitalised our love of Paris.
