Your "Le Provençal"certainly lived up to my hopes for this séjour à Paris. The cheerful appointments and central location were perfect for all my needs, in the city and the suburbs, as well. The WiFi Internet access and international telephone service were also a great comfort and convenience. What an improvement on a hotel!!

Le Provençal felt to us like Le Petit Trianon must have felt to Marie-Antoinette...an eagerly awaited, warm, safe and welcoming haven to go home to when the 'hustle and bustle' and 'must-do's' of the day were finally over. Thank you for your welcome, the comfy bed and the fantastic supply of guidebooks and DVD's. Having just skimmed the surface of what Paris and Le Marais have to offer, we look forward to our next visit.

What a comfortable, relaxing setting for a stay in Paris...a welcome change from the hotel's sterile routine. I hope to come back soon. Thanks, Adrian

Andy and I had a wonderful time once again in Paris. It was great meeting you at the Café du Marché. The apartment was full of bright and sunny colors which made up for the cloudy and rainy days. Thanks for investing in a comfy bed. We will miss the French cuisine and wonderful wines. Merci beaucoup!

Merci beaucoup! Nous adore Le Provençal! My husband and I felt right at home in this neighborhood and broke our Left Bank habit! We will stay here again and again in the future! We highly recommend every thing in the area from the boulangerie to the supermarché, Chez Omar to Café Charlot, we felt like local Parisians and hope to buy property here in the future!

Absolutely loved Paris and living in this neighborhood was a huge part of experience. My sister and I experienced so many friendly people and inviting places at every corner. I'm going to start planning my next trip as soon as I get home! The fromager shop across the street was so helpful and we wish the flower shop was in our neighborhood at home. Sitting in the parks in all corners has been great -- a highlight. Can't thank you enough for the warm and beautiful apartment to spend our quiet time. Merci beaucoup!

Your sunny apartment more than made up for rainy Paree. We loved it! Now we're more excited than ever about buying our own little piece of Paris. Merci et grosses bises.

Adrian, this week in Paris has been a dream come true! Thanks for all you did to make it happen. Le Provencal is magnificent! So cozy and inviting. Thanks for being so gracious and welcoming to Christina and I.

Terry Cardwell

Adrian, thank you so much for allowing my aunt and I to stay in Le Provencal. It was perfect for the two of us and it was so cute. Thank you for assisting us in apartment hunting. You were a huge help. Hopefully I will see you again in my next visit to Paris and many more to come.

I've been coming to Paris for over 20 years from two to four weeks a year, but finally decided to forgo hotels and rent because I faithfully read Parler Paris. I certainly chose the right apartment! I'm sure there's not another in the city so well equipped and totally homey, with such a comfortable bed and absolutely everything!! I've been wanting to stay in the Marais for years and now, will stay nowhere else! The "next step," I suppose, will be buying here, but that will be a while, which means I'll continue to rent "Le Provençal" for my next visits here! Brava, Adrian, you've created home-away-from-home in the most beautiful city in the world!

In all the hustle and bustle it was so quiet here! A hidden treasure...I was even getting used to the stairs. My granddaughter was delighted and will certainly tell all of her friends about the cute little apartment we stayed in in Paris. WE utilized the kitchen several times. I even baked a clafouti in the little oven -- no problem. I'll keep your number for my next visit! No more hotels!

Etta Lanuti

Thank you so much. We had a wonderful time in Paris and loved your adorable apartment.

Gram Alexander

What a charming place, a pleasure to the eyes and the soul. And my back is no longer sore thanks to your perfect mattress! I wish I could have stayed longer. In fact, next time I'm in Paris, "isolé," if I remember the word correctly, and I'm sure I didn't, I will definitely want to rent this place. You're the best, and your apartment is super! (That's su-pair, not su-purr, as you stinking already know.)

Michael Karmon

Adrian, the wonder woman, does it again! Le Provençal is beautiful, organized, not wanting for a thing. It was the perfect place for my (our) stay. Thank you for everything.

Carolyn Virgil

Thank you for everything! I loved staying in Le Provençal -- you've thought of everything, as I've told you several times. I was very, very comfortable and staying in the apartment was delightful. I've written about my activities and made other notes in the French Country Diary, if anyone has questions about my 10-week stay, don't hesitate to have them email me. Thanks, again!!!

The apartment is just as cute as it looks on the Internet, and was actually larger than I had expected. Every time we visit Paris we become more addicted!

Dave and Judith Lundin

I'm a believer! Renting an apartment while visiting Paris -- and renting one as delightful and charming as Le Provençal enhanced my holiday more than I ever thought possible. You've furnished this incredible place as if you were going to live here and the attention to detail is incredible. Already I've recommended it to so many people that I'll probably never be able to reserve it again! Merci beaucoup et au revoir.

Maureen Jenkins

This apartment and this neighborhood is everything and more we could have hoped for. I don't want to stay anywhere else on my future trips back to Paris. Thank you for your good taste, your attention to detail and your professionalism! See you next time!

Sarah Donaldson & Eric McGinley

Le Provençal is the perfect oasis in this most beautiful city. The neighborhood is so lovely and the people so friendly. We can't wait to bring our girls to visit Magnificent Paris. Thank you so much for making our short visit easy and fun.

Don and Elizabeth Parsons

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! I can't imagine staying anywhere else (you've spoiled me!). Thanks also for checking in on me when I was sick. Your care made a miserable week tolerable.

Sue Wright

Such a lovely apartment, so well prepared for our every need! I enjoyed the quiet courtyard and the bright, sunshiney room.

Michael Dominguez

The apartment and the charming neighborhood had everything we could ask for. Thank you for being such a thoughtful host.

Thanks for a great stay. The apartment was great. Paris was wonderful as always. We will recommend this place to all our friends.

Frank and Sue Thomas

We had a lovely visit to Paris. Love the pretty cheery flat and the locals. A great way to celebrate 33 years of marriage!! (We found the dining guide very useful.)

Brad and Karen Vander Molen

A wonderful stay (in spite of the "grèves") in Le Provençal. Merci pour votre aide. We love this district -- especially Julien, La Caviste and the Café Charlot (new!) and the fromagerie -- yum. P.S. Used your guide a lot and loved it!

Jim and Kinne Kirschbaum

We loved it all!!! Merci beaucoup! Great bed, quiet, great style, every nook and cranny filled well with ALL you need -- right place for everything to be well organized.

Gwen and Carl Norris

Thank you so much. What a lovely charming place with every amenity. We had such a wonderful stay!
