It is in the heart of the Saint-Germain quarter, full of sidewalk cafés, Haussman's tree-lined grand boulevards and also narrow nooks and alleys still around from Medevial times.  Besides covering some of the prettiest streets of the neighborhood, it also takes you to three of the best patisseries in Paris, many cafes – the famous intellectual ones and more, a chocolatier, and little shops where you can pick up delicious food souvenirs from your trip. 

We start at the corner of rue de Seine and rue Lobineau, at Patisserie Gerard Mulot, right across the street from where my apartment was.  It basically takes you on a 3/4 mile circle around the heart of the Saint-Germain quarter.

A peaceful and spacious home in the heart of Paris, Bard of Avon is a real rarity and gem. The interiors have a pared-back French country feel, with exposed rustic beams, muted colours and linens throughout. The rooms feel large and expansive and there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms which means no fights for the mirror in the morning. The central location close to the Seine add up to make this a fabulous home to enjoy the sights and sounds of Paris.
