Where to begin? This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of place, a special, unique place with loads of character and antiquity. Alain told us it dates from the 15th century, and it had beautiful huge old beams, timbers and stonework. The furnishings were a mix of old and new. The amenities were modern and worked well, like the air conditioning, the showers, the dishwasher and washer and dryer. They provided plenty of towels, sheets, and soaps etc. for the shower. The location was awesome, within walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes, and sightseeing. We walked to Notre Dame and St. Chapelle, the Marais, Centre Pompidou, the Louvre, the Latin Quarter, the Opera House and the Champs-Élysées, and also had wine and cheese on the Siene. We bought a corkscrew and Alain and Dora brought over two delicious bottles of wine. They were always quick to get back to us when we had a question, and very attentive to our needs. It was all in all a wonderful stay that we will never forget!
