According to Parisians, its location is the most pleasant district of Paris, the 5th arrondissement. What do you think about having a view on the Val de Grace church, and cruising in rue Mouffetard and Rue Monge, known for their typical markets and Parisian atmosphere, in an area at walking distance to Luxembourg Garden and "Jardin des Plantes"?
It felt like a real neighborhood, away from most of the tourist spots, but within close proximity to everything. We found some wonderful restaurants along Rue Saint Jacques, Blvd. Montparnasse, Rue Vavin, and around the Luxembourg Gardens.
The Val de grace, which is few yards away, is a Military Hospital built in the XVII° century and offers the second nicest church and "Dôme" of Paris after the Invalides. It is in a very nice area, with the Luxembourg Garden, Pantheon and Sorbonne all less than 5 minutes away.
A seven-minute walk south then right on the boulevard du Montparnasse and then past the Vavin Metro stop takes you to a bustling area of up-scale cafés and creperies. Several of the cafés are historically famous, and were frequented by Hemingway, Chagall, Matisse, and Picasso. The café Closerie des Lilas, at the corner of boulevard du Montparnasse and boulevard St-Michel, is where Hemingway penned "The Sun Also Rises" in a mere two weeks. This area really comes alive late at night.
The fresh food market on Blvd. Port Royal is friendly and full of seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as game and all kinds of cheese. There is also a wonderful boucherie just off Rue St. Jacques and Blvd. Port Royal as well as Rue Val de Grace.

My husband, adult daughter, and I totally enjoyed our two week stay in this charming Rue du Val de Grace apartment with every amenity. The owner was a delightful hostess who helped to make our vacation perfect. We truly felt that we were in a Parisian home rather than a rental. The location was great - a short walk to the Metro, cafes, grocery stores, and the loveliest garden in Paris. Nancy. San Diego - CA - USA

Your apartment is fabulous! The decor is exquisite, straight out of a magazine. Everything one could need is provided. The location is perfect! We walked everywhere or if we needed the metro it is right there. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in your apartment and hope to return some day. Thank you. Millie ADAMS. San Francisco - CA - USA

Dear Josette, My family and I had a lovely time in the apartment. You and your husband could not have possibly been more accommodating or kind – especially upon the sight of two rambunctious children. The apartment was absolutely lovely – even more so than it appears in the photographs. The location could not be any more easy for getting around. What a pleasure to be so centrally located, but still in such a charming neighborhood. I do hope that we’ll have the opportunity to stay in your apartment in the future. All best wishes from Texas – where it is far too hot! Denise Amy Baxter, Ph.D. Denton - Texas - USA

Dear Josette We are now back home in Perth having had a wonderful holiday. We’d like to thank you for making your wonderful apartment available for rent. It was perfect for our purposes, the two double bedrooms were perfect for my husband, myself & our teenage daughter. The modern bathroom & kitchen were lovely to use. The large lounge room with roomy couch was very comfortable and the impressive dining room was a bonus. We loved the apartment as we felt we had moved into a fully furnished and decorated home, not just a rental. Your collection of objet d’art, books and lovely furniture made our stay very special. The location was also ideal, whilst we felt we were living in a French community we had easy access to the Metro & the close by Luxembourg Gardens are so beautiful as well as great restaurants in close proximity. The apartment had everything one would need right down to the champagne stopper! Our sincere thanks. Janine & Rick Kyle. Perth - AUSTRALIA

Our comments on the Apartment in Paris. "We had a lovely stay in this apartment for 4 days. We had young children so it was great to be so close to Luxembourg gardens where there was plenty to entertain them. The apartment was quintessential french and also with all the mod cons - internet access,washing machine and dryer - that you need. It was also a good size as we had 5 people staying comfortably. The owners were very helpful." We have been telling a few people back here how lovely your apartment was. Suzan. AUSTRALIA

We recently stayed at this lovely apartment, conveniently located near the RER-B with easy airport access. Our host, Josette, added to our Parisian experience. She greeted us at the apartment and had recommendations for markets and restaurants in the immediate area. The location, close to Luxembourg Gardens, is on a quiet street with a view of Val de Grace. It was very easy to use the subway system or just walk from this location. The apartment was comfortably furnished, had many art pieces,books, movies ... We hope to return someday. Deborah.
