Corinne and Emmanuel’s place ended up being a great spot for us to enjoy more of the local scene in Paris. My husband is a Jazz head and much to our surprise 2 of the Jazz clubs on his list were literally around the corner, which made our late night excursions insanely easy and fun.
Lots of shopping and eating and a great Christmas market down the way where we got what we were told by a cheese connoisseur is the best cheese in all of France brought from all over the countryside. So that made cheese hunting super easy.
The location is far from any of the major attractions and Paris-like shops but we walked it all anyway. I wouldn’t recommend walking if you aren’t in shape or are in a hurry. It was disappointing at first and my feet are definitely tired but we enjoyed discovering some amazing things on all of our routes. It gave us adventurous types the opportunity to really get to know Paris and some of the neighborhoods and also because we didn’t just walk along the river.
Corinne and Emmanuel were gracious enough to keep our bags in their office literally all day since we had a late train on the last day of our visit which gave us the opportunity to explore more and really enjoy our last day.
