Margaux's home is a perfect place for a couple to stay for sightseeing. The Left Bank is bustling, yet away from the tourist crowds. The local neighborhood baker and cafe are excellent and there is a bio coop (health food grocer) and a conventional grocer within walking distance.
The best part of Margaux's place is the patio -- a perfect oasis to enjoy with a glass of wine and some cheese after a day of exploring Paris. The neighbors are also welcoming -- we were invited to share wine with them one night and chatted (quietly) until midnight.
