"Dear Madelyn, Phillipe, and all the staff at Paris Perfect,
We have had an amazing 2 weeks in Paris. This is our third trip to Paris and our stay at St Emilion made this visit the best! The apartment's location is ideal. The view is breathtaking. We really appreciate all of the invaluable information in the folder of the neighborhood.
We really enjoyed shopping at Rue Cler. We ate at several great restaurants. Our favorites are Au Petite Sud Ouest and Au Bon Accueil. Our favourite Boulangerie is Pain d'Epis. They have wonderful baguettes and pain au chocolate. The also make a super grain-seeded baguette. We love the pastries from Lenotre. I don't think we ever exited the metro at Ecole Militaire without stopping in.
We decided to take a couple of day trips out of Paris. We visited Brugge on day (about 2 ½ hours by train). Brugge was a beautiful, quaint city. It was very fairytale-like. They have great beer, chocolate and yes, Belgian Waffles! We also visited Giverny. This was more of a ½ day trip. Monets gardens were beautiful and it was a peaceful escape from the city for an afternoon.
Thank you for all you have done to make our stay so memorable. We will definitely be back again! Au Revoir."

"Such a sweet apartment, so thoughtfully prepared. Thank you for entrusting us with its many fine, considerate features - nespresso and a bathtub, to name just two! The green book was enormously helpful, and helped us both get around and feel at home. The weather was wonderful, and so was our week. Thank you so much for making it so."

"This is the only way to vacation in Paris! The information and recommendations provided by the Paris Perfect staff are impeccable. Flowers from Cler Fleurs are huge, beautiful and great prices. Davoli on rue Cler ahs wonderful prepared foods, chocolates from Gregory Renaud are out of this world. Favorite breakfast: chocolate croissants and French coffee! Great restaurant - Cafe Rousillon - friendly service, excellent creme brulee. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!"

"Being a mother of sons, I knew I would have to organize my own birthday party, so we decided to celebrate my 60th with a wonderful week in Paris.
The apartment is special. We only saw you once but didn't need to as your professional approach, wonderful 'local notes' thought of everything.
We have always loved PARIS 7 and rue Cler with its local flavour is great. The busy day to day activity of operational Paris makes you feel like you are 'living the dream' if only for a short time.
We hired motorscooters so highlight:-
6AM bike ride through PARIS - over bridges, under towers & watching the sunrise over the river before breakfast on the balcony. A birthday to remember."

"My children (ages 6, 8, and 10), husband, and I had a magical stay here. It has been our first trip to Europe and we will definitely return to this apartment. I have been dreaming about seeing my children watch the Eiffel Tower lights sparkle since I saw the pictures on the web sight. We were not disappointed. The children all slept in the living room the first night and watched the lights! All has been magical. Thanks for all the help - your yellow info packet is excellent!"

"I think this apartment was very nice and comfortable. I enjoyed everything in Paris. It is full of culture and fun. I could see the Eiffel Tower from our window. We watched it sparkle at night. It was really pretty. 'La France est magnifique!' Merci! Au Revoir!"

"Another wonderful time with Paris Perfect. Again lots of shopping and sightseeting. The past two visits we didn't listen to the advice of Madelyn to get our hair cut by Phillipe (huge mistake). It was the best cut in my life. (I have lived in major US cities and never this good)
Thanks again, hope to see you soon!"

"Dear All,
This was our second stay in St Emillion and 4th Paris Perfect. We have been planning this stay with great enthusiasm since our last stay in 11/06.
We have enjoyed Le Clos Des Gourmets and Le Fontaine De Mar and found new places. This is the perfect home from which to explore the 7th, 16th, 1st; we can walk or Metro everywhere and then end the day with the sparkling lights of the Tour Eiffel.
How perfect is that?"

"Where do we start? Never could have expected to stay in an apartment as lovely as this. We completely enjoyed the location, the views and the Parisian lifestyle. This location allowed us to do all of the normal sightseeing and also immerse ourselves in the day to day lifestyle of Paris. The patisserie, the butcherie, the cafes, the strolls through the parks. You must go to Ile St Louis and have lunch at Aux Anysetiers du Roy on the Rue St Louis. Also, Richard's Cafe downstairs from the Bergerac at the corner is the perfect way to start your day. Thank you to all for making this vacation the trip of a lifetime. We look forward to a return trip. We love Paris!"

Thank you for all your help with the TV and the washing machine. It was nice to meet you all. Thank you also for the Green Book! It gave us lot of tips that we surely needed."

"My daughter and I had an amazing week here. Everyone was so helpful. The neighborhood restaurants and grocery stores were all wonderful and warm to us. The Paris Perfect staff went above and beyond their duties to make us feel at home and available if we needed anything. The beautiful and cozy apartment felt like home and we loved watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle each night....magical. Thankyou, Thankyou!"

"The apartment and neighborhood are absolutely wonderful! What a great location, I just wish we'd had more time to relax and explore the neighborhood more since we were busy dragging our poor children (ages 10& 13) all over Paris to see the sights. My husband did manage to sit on the balcony several times to enjoy his red wine, bread and cheese. (vin rouge, pain et fromage, the only word in french that he knows!)
We visited the Greek restaurant for crepes many times.
Merci, merci, merci!"

"The time has really flown, as it always does on our trips to Paris. This is our sixth annual visit, and our second in a 'Paris Perfect' apartment. (Last year we stayed in Montrachet). This apartment was outstanding; the view, the neighborhood, all Perfect!
We've spent a total of six weeks in Paris since 2003 and never get tired of it. We plan to keep coming back (unless the Exchange Rate passes some point of no return!). We got more than 700 photos and lots of video; will be posting it all online soon. Check www.chrisrichter.us for photos and past trip reports.
Thanks again to the Paris Perfect team, and the people of Paris, for our best vacation ever!"

"We were happy to come home to the Bergerac apartment each day, especially to get out of the cold and rainy weather. Our girls, age 4 and 2 loved looking at the Eiffel Tower. Our 2 year old said "bread" for the first time while here. It must have been because the French bread is so good. We look forward to our next visit to Paris."
