The Best Deal in Paris
My wife Christine and I have visited Paris a half dozen time over the past ten years but our trip this summer (June 2008) was by far the best. This time we brought along our 10 year-old grandson to show him the sights of this wonderful city. Aside from our grandson, what made this trip extra special was our Paris accommodations They where the best yet. We where fortunate to rent an apartment that was outstanding in both ammenties and value. We secured the apartment through an ad in an American circulated French magazine and contacted the owner, Michele Shuey. When we arrived in Paris after a three week trip through England and Italy, we were not sure what to expect. Upon arriving at the apartment, we were delighted to find it to be much more than we had anticipated.
Located in Val Fontenay, an upscale suburb of east Paris, the apartment consisted of two large bedrooms with a king-size bed in the master bedroom, a large living room/dining room with large flat-screen TV (which mattered little to me because I understand little French. But my wife enjoyed it because she is fluent in French.) Off the dining room are french doors that lead to a picturesque balcony. Included is a modern washer and dryer. But the thing that made the picture complete was the modern, well stocked kitchen which really complemented our stay because it enabled us to save money by cooking many of our own meals.
The apartment added much leisure to our stay because, after showing our grandson, all around Paris for five days, it was a great place to escape and relax. It is conveniently located for a number of reasons. First, it is about a five-minute walk from the RER. The RER, along with the Paris Metro, is a marvelous way to get around Paris and the surrounding area. Second, the apartment is part of a complex that is just across the street from a large shopping center with restaurants and a large supermarket - and I mean large - which contains everything you could ever need for your stay.
We found Michele a very delightful person to work with. She made us feel right a home from the first moment of our arrival. We where allowed full access to the apartment, and better still, was the rental price. As a seasoned traveler, I can honestly say you will have to look long and hard to find a better deal in Paris. It was one of the places where the American dollar really had some real value. Again, I would like to say thank you Michele for allowing us to share your apartment. It helped make our stay in our favorite city one of the best ever.
Because of Michele, my wife and I plan to return sooner that planned, and there is no question where we plan to stay.
