Before we arrived, Jacques sent us informative emails with instructions to get to his apartment, and although we couldn't meet him in person, his friend Alexandra showed us in and made us feel at home. Jacques' place was very close to the metro which gave easy access to Paris. The view of the Eiffel Tower from Jacques' window was perfect, and provided us with some great photo opportunities!

The apartment itself is cosy and well equipped, with everything you would need for a short or longer stay in Paris. There is a lovely boulangerie on the corner, and the five flights of stairs allow you to burn off the calories from the irresistible croissants and pastries! A few more minutes up the road and you find a set of shops with a supermarket, restaurants, and anything else you would need.

We would definitely recommend Jacques' place to anyone travelling to Paris. What a great way to start our honeymoon! Thanks Jacques! :)
