I was very happy staying in Jean and Véronique's warm and welcoming home. Since it is where they live, it is completely equipped; it lacks nothing. Also, the layout of the apartment is quite pleasing, with a large living-dining room and a balcony overlooking a lovely garden. I wasn't aware of the Quartier des Peupliers before, but it is quiet and charming. It is a perfect place to stay if one is working in Paris, but also if one wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions. At the same time, it is easy to get anywhere from Place d'Italie, only a ten minutes' walk away. (And be sure to check out the great shopping in Italie Deux.) One can also take a fascinating walk into the center, say to Jardin du Luxembourg or Saint Sulpice, in thirty minutes. Thank you, Jean and Véronique, for sharing your home with me.
