France's flat sits at the top of a perfect local street If you wake up early enough, the scent of freshly baked croissants floats up the street, and in only a few steps you can find yourself in any of a number of cafes, shops, patisseries, bookstores, fruit and meat markets, and more. A lovely carousel sits in the neighborhood square at the end of the block where locals and their kids play. For all of the touristy experiences France has to offer, it was refreshing to sit there and watch the local life.
That said, reaching touristy destinations near the Seine was easy. We walked to the Louvre in about 25 minutes. There were three or four trains that could take you to the Eiffel tower or Champs Elysees in 20 min.
The flat itself was bright and beautifully decorated with modern appliances. There were three doors that lead to a balcony that overlooked the iconic Parisian rooftops.
France also was exceptional and highly communicative. This airbnb was a highlight of our trip
