Our life for the last two months living in Jean-Louis' classic French apartment suited us to a tee. Jean-Louis and his friend Jacqueline were great hosts, very attentive to our needs and quickly responsive in all communications. The home is a good size and we made regular use of the separate dining room as we often prepared meals chez nous. Much to our advantage was the fact that within a two block walk there is a regular Friday outdoor market with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, cheese, also prepared foods, rotisseries and flowers. Plenty of other nearby green grocers, markets and good bakeries to satisfy our bread, sandwich and sweets cravings. Find a wide variety of restaurants within walking distance. Best value: Buillion Pigalle, get there early. Subways, buses and train stations are easily accessible and connect you to every part of the city and beyond. The building itself and apartment are remarkably temperate even in the hottest weather because big windows open wide and cross ventilation keep things balmy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay adjacent to Montmartre, and the views of Sacre Coeur a few blocks away.
