Our last week

Sadly this will be our last full week in Paris. Francois has left for Compiegne. I have two more excursions to fit in before he returns on Thursday. Piglet has his last bouquet of roses....



I will pack up our things soon as Thursday morning I will meet with the owner of our little studio to finalize details and move across the street to our new home for the last four days of our trip.

This has been the most positive experience living on 29 rue de la Parcheminerie. We had so little time to find accommodations. We had to make a decision about this place sight-unseen (just a few pictures from the agency`s site). We had to commit to a contract of a 22 day rental with deposit submitted by paypal in advance. Surprisingly my deposit has already been returned to our credit card.

From beginning to end Thierry you have been the best to deal with - always responding to my questions, helping me with details. I question whether indeed you do ever sleep. We have recommended your agency to the other foreign officers who were in envy of this beautiful studio (compared to their tiny hotel rooms, in some cases at a much higher price). http://www.parisbestlodge.com/ will remain at the top our go-to list should we be lucky enough to visit Paris again.

Thanks also to Bernard who provided this charming place - so pleasingly and comfortably decorated - truly a gentleman of good taste. And special thanks to Maria who discreetly came and went each week leaving the place spotless and polished.

You have all contributed in making this a memorable stay.
