6 of us have just returned from our stay at this property and we absolutely loved it. Our group - two grandparents, us two and our two children (6 and 5) loved this property. It was easy to navigate into the centre of Paris, with the RER A taking us straight to Chatelet to start most of our exploring. We bought 5 day passes in advance for the RER and metro which worked perfectly. The house was a really comfortable base, from heading into La Varenne for a meal on our first night, breakfast from the local boulangerie each day and heading into Paris to explore some sights. We went to the Pompidou Centre, the Eiffel Tower, Sainte Chapelle and boat trip on the Seine. We returned happily tired at the end of each day.
Of course, with three days to explore we didn't really scratch the surface and there are plenty more places we want to see, including exploring the area near the house some more.
We had a french tea in the house each evening. and the local supermarket was a great start for this - again we only began to scratch the surface of all the wine and cheese!
I think this property is great value - it comfortably fitted all six of us, and although I loved seeing Paris in the Autumn, the house looks perfectly set for long summer evenings as well. We'll just have to come back.
