Oh, where do I begin? The location is the BEST. The building is super cool and there’s no lift so plan accordingly. It’s only 3 flights of stairs; you can do it. The loft is impeccable and the decorations are eclectic and fun. If you’ve seen the Marie Kondo show on Netflix, every single thing in her loft sparks joy. It’s just cheerful and bright. She recommended a bakery that is 5-10 min walk depending on how fast you walk where to buy bread for breakfast. She leaves you with jam, butter, and some nespresso capsules. She has local guides galore and she will patiently show you where you are on the map and some recommendations. I missed my train from Paris so I was an hour later than I told her; she was understanding. I almost missed my train heading back to Paris but she helped me get on correct tram to train station. I loved my stay here!!!! 110% recommend.
FYI, the tourism place is also a short walk from her place. Do the walking tour for like $18 which includes a wine tasting. The place where the wine tasting is is so cost effective and they showcase really great local wines. The garden 2 seconds away is a sight to behold. Lastly, the wine museum is a fantastic way to spend a rainy afternoon.
Merci, Carole!
