We came to Paris to run the 2019 Paris marathon and had the unfortunate - or in hindsight fortunate - situation of having our initial apartment cancel on us a few weeks before our trip. We quickly looked for a replacement spot and were lucky enough to find Franck's flat available and within walking distance to the start/finish of the race. The apartment is in a wonderful neighborhood in a lovely building. The flat has been very tastefully renovated and has everything you would need to make your stay perfect. Rue Poncelet is home to an outdoor market where you can shop for fresh food, gifts, wine, clothes, etc. And if you'd prefer someone else do the cooking you are within steps of many fantastic restaurants. We will definitely be back!
