Brigitte and Christian's property is clean, airy and modern with enough space for a couple to have a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is well-appointed in case you want to cook or simply serve food from the myriad exceptional caterers in the neighborhood. The Marche Notre-Dame five minutes down the street, is a food Mecca, featuring countless cheese counters, butcher shops, wine stores, chocolate makers and even an outstanding ice cream and sorbet maker (San Luis) whose creations will make you weep. Your palate will think it died and went to Heaven. And this is all within walking range even if you can barely walk. Another five minutes and you're at the Castle. If you're a music lover, check out the concerts at the recently renovated Chapelle Royale, whose gold leaf roof now glitters in the sun, or the operas put on by the Opera Royal. This property is a gem all around, it will make you wonder why you ever bothered to go into Paris when you can have it all in a few acres of genteel urban living. I'd like to mention the extraordinary pastry store and bakery around the corner: the Chant du Coq, which is run by ... a very inspired Japanese family, and offers fare that will blow your mind and delight your mouth. Enter that place at your own peril. I know I gained a few pounds in just one week because I couldn't resist their amazing creations.
