Virginie provided a warm welcome and was available when we needed any assistance. For those interested in seeing the best of Paris, this ground floor studio in the Marais allows easy access to it all. Cafes, restaurants, coffee and specialty shops reflecting true Parisian charm plus modern department stores are all in walking distance. The Georges Pompidou Centre for modern art, the Musee Carnavalet, the Picasso and Cognacq Jay museums, the Place des Vosges. Notre Dame Cathedral and the Infants Rouges Marche also easy to walk to from the unit. Metro stations are on the nearby Rue de Rivoli. To see more of Paris, we booked at the France Tourisme agency by walking to the Louvre Agency at 6 rue de l’Amiral de Cologny, which runs on the near side of the Louvre. There we booked a Seine River Cruise, a 2-hour bus tour of major sites and a trip to the Versailles Palace. Altogether, staying at Virginie’s ensured we had a marvellous time in Paris.
