Merci, Nathalie, for making our stay in Paris on Isle Saint-Louis such a magical and incredible one. The apartment and its location in the center of everything was perfect. Our 15-year old daughter and friend loved, loved, loved the loft space with the large bed. For us Americans, the apartment is actually five flights up (0 et - 5 et), yet the trek up to the apartment only added to the Paris experience and vibe, especially at night when we could come back at dark and use our phones as flashlights up the creaky wooden stairs.

The windows look out over the Isle Saint-Louis rooftops. The morning and evening light during Spring in Paris is incredible as well--the sun cannot wait to come up in the morning and begrudgingly sets starting around 10p in the evening.

About the location--the street, Rue Saint Louis en Isle, is a fairy tale of cheese, bread, and wine shops, Berthillon ice cream stands, and other adorable shops. Check out the Cafe St. Regis just steps down the street along with our favorite waiter, Antoine, and try everything on the menu, especially the hot chocolate and french onion soup. It's also adjacent to Notre Dame Cathedral, with St Germain on one side of the Seine and The Marais on the other. And if you're in to yoga or swimming, there are studios and pools within a 15 minute walk.

We LOVED our stay at A parisian life on file saint-louis...
