Where do I begin?! From the moment I stepped out onto the balcony of this beautiful apartment, I was overwhelmed and overcome with emotion! The view of the Eiffel Tower is just as up close and personal as it looks in the online photos! Absolutely breathtaking! The apartment is gorgeous, modern, airy, spacious, well-appointed with everything you could possibly need for your stay! There was a lovely basket full of goodies to welcome us. The bank of lavendar and mint on the balcony only enhanced the experience of sitting outside, where it seems as if one could reach out and touch the Tower! And the icing on the cake was the perfect timing of our visit--preparations for Euro 2016 were underway. On 3 of our 4 nights there we awoke in the wee hours of the morning to find a light show going on as the La Tour Eiffel was illuminated with various colors, swirls of light, beacons of light shooting forth from within, and the twinkling lights that we had experienced on the hour earlier in the evening, as they tweaked the lights for the Euro 2016 competition! I had to force myself to stop taking photos and go back to bed! Also in view from the balcony was Sacre Coeur, Roue de Paris, Les Invalides, École Militaire! I cannot express my gratitude for the privilege of seeing Paris from this vantage point. If you come to Paris, you must stay in Madame Castany's penthouse! 5 stars for, truly, the best view of Paris! Merci beaucoup!
