Françoise is a charming, gracious, and generous host, and her home is filled with art and wonderful colors...which as creative types ourselves, we really appreciated. She made every effort to be the best hostess and I miss those delicious croissant breakfasts already. The room she offers is spacious and private, the bed very comfortable, with a nice view onto her sunny courtyard complete with banana trees (perfect spot for breakfasting). Everything was spotlessly clean too. The apartment is just a few blocks from the big surfing beach and a short walk to the market and center of town. We liked the old-fashioned French charm of the neighborhood and how quiet it was. There's an interesting looking restaurant (Le Crabe Tambour) close by but alas we weren't there when it was open…however we can heartily recommend L'Instant for an excellent "locavore" inspired meal.
