A Summary of Paris: Itinerary

25. February 2006 Paris, France 8
We rented an apartment on 78 rue St-Louis-en-l’Ile via Paristay.com, so most of the stops we made were around the island of Saint-Louis. It was the perfect space for three people complete with a loft bed, a bathroom, a fully-equipped kitchen and a sofa bed in the living room. The neighborhood in itself is one ...

Versailles, An Hour Outside Paris
