We rented Madame Bernard’s apartment as a gift our college-aged daughter and friend’s ten day Paris vacation. They are studying aboard with their college for the semester and dreamed of spending their spring break in Paris. Paramount to our decision was safety and cleanliness. The apartment is located in a lovely neighborhood, just steps from the Metro, a delicious boulangerie, and markets. The girls simply delighted in the privilege of the stay, feeling as if they were Parisians if only for a week. They felt safe and at home in Madame Bernard’s well appointed, clean, and beautiful apartment. Additionally, Madame Bernard’s communications were always timely, gracious, and helpful. We are very grateful for her hospitality and trust to open her lovely home to the girls. The memories they made in these first real blooms of adulthood will center on her hospitality.
