We arrived at the spacious, sunny apartment to find a small feast waiting for us. The cold water, cold AC, fresh baked goods, and assortment of snacks were much appreciated after a long day of travel. Xavier made sure we had everything we needed, assured us we could contact him if we needed anything, then left us to rest. It was great knowing that the owner of the property lived right below, but other than some supplies and some generous surprises left for us outside our door, you wouldn't know anyone was there.
The apartment and surrounding town are like something out of a French novel, but with modern amenities! Large, beautiful, doors and windows, comfortable beds and couches, every kitchen amenity you could need, and a wonderful wraparound patio where you can see the tip of the Eiffel tower sparkle at night. The town is small and peaceful and has grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities within walking distance or a short bus trip.
Getting to and from Paris is relatively simple. The apartment is about a 15-20 minute walk to the local train station. If you'd rather not walk, lots of other options can be found in meticulously prepared binder in the apartment.
We have stayed at numerous properties over the years and Xavier and Camille are without a doubt the best hosts we’ve ever had. There will be no question where we stay when we return to France. Merçi Xavier et Camille!
