For a first visit to Paris, Sylvie and Eric'a apartment could not be better. Perfectly located in the Latin Quarter, it was a 10 minute walk to the Notre Dame, 25 minute walk to Louvre, and 5 minutes to Luxembourg Gardens. We didn't even notice that there was a transportation unions strike. Our family of 4 (parents plus teenage boys) was very comfortable and the place was spacious. Sylvie and Eric were attentive hosts; they have recommended and made a restaurant reservation for a New Year's Eve dinner in the local and very charming restaurant. When we come back to Paris, we will check with Sylvie and Eric, first.
