Saveur,
Thanks for letting us rent your apartment. We have been to Paris many times
and this was the best place we have stayed. I am guessing that the building
is about 300 years old and as one would expect, it did not look like a
Holiday Inn. It felt more like home. Old furniture, lots of books on the
shelves, fresh cut flowers to greet us. What a step up from a characterless
hotel. In the morning, my wife would make breakfast while I took the 5
minute stroll to the bakery for fresh Croissants. Nearby markets for unique
cheeses, sausages, wines. Quiet comfortable bedrooms. Free telephone to
call family in the US. For one week, I felt like a Parisian in my own apartment.
Dominique was very helpful and friendly when we arrived. Everything was
clean and worked. I could go on and one, but suffice it to say, I know
where I will stay on my next visit. If you wish to refer potential renters
for advice-don't hesitate to give my address. Again, thanks for making
our 25th Anniversary a perfect experience. Best, Peter S.September 14th,

Dear Sauveur,
...
We had the most extraordinary time in Paris at your wonderful
locations.
Absolutely everything was as you promised, and Paris was in full
bloom as the
exceptionally beautiful city it is. Weather was really great, and
we did not mind any occasional rain.
The bells resounding down the way from Notre Dame was the most
magical reminder
of where we so luckily found ourselves these past few weeks. We
thank you for allowing us to
stay at your beautiful locations, and truly wish you will allow
us to come back sometime soon.
Best of regards, Nancy & Brian

Hi Sauveur!
What a wonderful trip to Paris this has been for all of us!
We have had a great time and have done a tremendous amount
of walking!
...
We have enjoyed these accommodations tremendously. What a
great part of Paris to stay in. When we return to Paris, and
I'm sure we most certainly will, we will definitely look you
up again.
Take care!

Hi Sauveur,
... Hopefully
we will have the opportunity to stay at your apartment in the
future sometime again. We really enjoyed our stay in Paris
!!! One of the highlights was a person late at night playing
the accordian just outside your window - a great experience
!
Best regards,
Jenny

Cher M. Chemouni,
Nous sommes de retour à Montréal. Nous avons
beaucoup aimé notre séjour dans votre appartement
du 4, rue Boutarel. Sa situation au coeur de l'île Saint-Louis,
son confort et la réconfortante présence de la
cathédrale Notre-Dame nous ont conquis.
Nous vous remercions de nous avoir donné accès à votre
appartement et nous espérons avoir de nouveau l'occasion
d'y séjourner.
Meilleures salutations!
Maurice Rochette
August 22nd 2008 - Oksana Redko- USA
Dear Sauveur/Carla,
Thank you very much for letting us use the apartment! We had
wonderful time in Paris.
The weather was just right, apartment was like home - very comforable! - and
the city was incredible. Would go back any time! We visited couple of gardens
with our son and took him to Le Bourget museum for his birthday, so he was very
happy.The apartment was great, indeed. Location was the best - we will recommend
it to all of our friends. Everything we needed was there and five of us were
very comfortable there.
Oh, someone probably did take the adapter- there was none in the bathroom - but
we had ours, so it was OK.
Thank you very much again! All the best to you and your family.
Ours truly,
Oksana Redko

Hello Saveur!
We had such a wonderful time at the Boutarel apartment in May that we
are already planning another trip. Would you please send me the VRBO numbers
for all the apartments you have in Paris. We might decide to stay in another
area of the city.
Thank you!

Hi Sauveur,
We loved your place and hope to come back someday soon...
We had a great vacation and can highly recommend your apartment.
Thanks so much!

Cher Sauveur--
We absolutely LOVED rue Boutarel and would go back in a heartbeat.
Paolo
was very accomodating and helpful. My mother-in-law did just
fine with the
steps.
...
It was just a wonderful spot for us and we thank you so much.
We will
certainly return some day!
All best,
Jane Law
May 31st 2008 - Ashley Davis- USA
Thank you very much! Our trip was excellent, and our stay
at your apartment was comfortable and convenient. Paulo was
helpful and very agreeable.... Thank you for everything and
feel free to include us as references if you'd like. Sincerely,

Bon Jour,
We are sadly checking out today! We had a wonderful
trip and LOVE the apt!!! .....
Merci beaucoup!!!!!!
...
We are back from Paris, and wanted to tell you what a wonderful
time we had. The apartment is fabulous, the location unbelievable.
And everyone was so nice to us, even though we don't speak
ANY French beyond bon jour, s'il vous plait and merci. I don't
know why there is the rumour that Parisians are rude! And of
course, Paris itself is just beyond words.

May 27th 2008 - P and S from Australia
My wife and I stayed here for a week from late April to early
May 2008.
When you first arrive you meet Paulo who shows you the ropes
of the apartment, he is a good guy.
The apartment is nicely furnished with all the amenities you
need. The location however is just amazing. On Ile St louis
and with a view of the Seine from one bedroom and from the
living area!!
We spent our days and nights relaxing and exploring the local
areas. You can almost walk everywhere that you would want to
go in the main parts of Paris.
I highly recommend this apartment. In my book the greatest
question to ask someone is "would you seriously go back
to that place" The simple answer for us is Yes, we will
definately stay here next time we are in Paris.
February 26th, 2008 -Krista and Kevin Castor
Just wanted to drop you a note letting you know how much we
enjoyed the Boutarel appartment this past week. The location
was amazing, and the apartment was just the right size for
the two of us. We are already planning our next trip to Paris
and will be using your service again.
Paulo was very helpful when meeting us for check in, and the
airport pick up/drop off was wonderful. We had a great trip
and it was made so much nicer with the beautiful apartment
and additional services you arranged.
Thank you,
Krista and Kevin Castor
February 10th, 2008 -Kathryn Hose-USA
Dear Sauveur,
At long last I just wanted to write to tell you what a great stay we had at your
apartment on the Ile St. Louis in Paris. To refresh your memory, we rented
the apartment from December 24 to December 31. It was a wonderful place to
stay and exceeded my expectations. Paulo was great - very reliable, responsive
and helpful, the apartment is very well equipped, the security at the apartment
is very good, the computer/internet access was an unexpected bonus and as you
know, the location is the very best in Paris. ... Also, I very much appreciated
your professionalism and organization. The second week we were in France we
rented from another owner in Normandy. All turned out fine, but there was just
much less contact and responsiveness and I had a few doubts that all would
turn out well. Thanks for your businesslike approach. Whenever we're in Paris
(which hopefully will be often) I hope to stay with you again. It sounds as
though you may have other apartments? If so, please advise how to access them.
If the one on the Rue Boutarel is full, we'd want to look at others that you
own first. Thanks again. Sincelery, Kathryn Honse
February 4th, 2008 -Colleen Canning- Australia
Dear Sauveur,
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Paris. The apartment was
brilliant and the assistance provided by Paulo was excellent.
We would be grateful if you would mail us the Security Bond
Cheque for US$600 which we hand delivered to Paulo on arrival. ...
With kind regards
Colleen
January 1st, 2008-Jayne Warman-USA
Dear Sauveur
Your apartment was absolutely perfect in very way -- location, size, amenities,
Paulo, etc., etc. - I only wish it were mine! My children
came for Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful repast together...
Otherwise, I enjoyed being on the Ile Saint-Louis (the shop
owners were friendly and accommodating) and, even with the
9-day transit strike, I was able to get around because of
the great location. Thank you for making it available to
me!

Dear Sauveur Chemouni
I'm now back in Australia and I just wanted to re-affirm
the sentiments that my sister wrote in your guest book. We had a wonderful
time in Paris and that was due in no small measure to the amenity and location
of your apartment. It was perfect.
....
Kind regards.

September 16th, 2007-Dan Pilcher- Houston, Texas- 3 persons
Dear Sauveur Chemouni,
I meant to write to you when we got back home. We had such
a great time. The apartment worked out perfectly for us. Comfortable beds
and the most perfect location to tour the city. I miss having my croissants
each morning - we can't get anything that good back home in Oklahoma City!
We hope to return to Paris, this time with our 2 children, so they can
experience the beauty of the city. I won't hesitate to contact you when
the time comes.
Dan Pilcher
Your apartment was lovely and we had a wonderful time. The computer was
an unexpected benefit-- a very useful surprise. We never
found the adapter but really didn't need it anyway. Thanks also for the
use of the hairdryer.
Sincerely,
Emily Pilcher
September 1st, 2007- Josie Abenina- Toronto, Canada - 4 persons
Hello Sauveur
It's good to hear from you... Your apartment was great - I love the location.
What's interesting is that Alon and I walked by it last year
and I said that I'd like to stay on Ile St. Louis. The amenities were very
good, except the initial problem w/ the tv, but the kids definitely
compensated with the computer. We enjoyed having breakfast
at home before we set we went out... Iliked the courtyard.
Our room was very quiet. It was hard to believe that we were
in a big city.
I will definitely contact you when we go back to Paris, but we'll probably
stay in the saint louis apt if it will just be Alon and me. Please send
our regards to Paolo. We enjoyed the haricots beurre and courgette jaune
that he gave us. I'll try to improve my French so that I can actually talk
to him.
Warm regards, Josie

Thank you Dear Sauveur!
Your apartment was lovely and Paulo was very very helpful.
He represents you well in Paris. We had a wonderful time in Paris and also
later in Provence.
The apartment was perfect for our needs and the location
was ideal. The only suggestion I have is that you update
your information about entering the apartment (...)
Everything else was perfect! We look forward to many more
trips to Paris. I am considering a lengthy stay in Paris in September-December.
If you know of any well priced apartments for 1 person (perhaps you rent
your own for longer terms), please let me know.
Thank you for all your assistance in making our trip a delight!

Dear Sauveur,
We had a wonderful time at your Boutarel apartment. Before we left, we
tried to find the Livre d’Or so that we could add our comments to
those of other guests, but we could not find it. The location
can’t
be beat—not just being across the Seine from Notre Dame, but also
being only a few steps away from bakeries and restaurants
with mouth watering treats and quaint shops. The accommodations
were excellent. Every morning we brought back a baguette or pan au chocolat
or freshly baked tartes and savored them in the dining room to start the
day. The beds, towels and linens all contributed to making our stay relaxing
after a full day of visiting Paris. Having the washer/dryer was an added
bonus. My in-laws who stayed in the apartment with us were so impressed
that they showed it off to relatives who live outside of Paris. We look
forward to returning to Paris and hope that Boutarel or one of your other
apartments will available. Sincerely,
Donald Klein

Loved the apartment in Paris. It was perfect. Very clean, Paulo was great,
helpful, knowledgeable, a real asset! thank you.
April 4th 2007 - David Radloff
-USA
Thank you for your note. We had a great time. The apartment was great.
The neighborhood was great. Loved the grocery around the corner. Paulo did
a great job of getting us settled in. VOIP call availability was great. Internet
and wireless were great. The weather wasn't very nice, but we had a great
time. Early Sunday evening my son and I went and threw a football for five
minutes in the courtyard of Notre Dame, so now we tell people "We played
football at Notre Dame". Corny american humor.
We will certainly recommend your apartment to others and will
hope that when we can get back to Paris again we can stay there.
...
Thanks again,
Dave Radloff
September 29th 2006 - Janice Johnson- USA
Hello Sauveur,
We are home safe and sound and happy!
Your apartment was a delight! We enjoyed our stay very much.
It is such a charming home and the location was superb for the Metro and
shops.
Paulo was so nice and helpful. He showed us the workings of the
apt. and made us feel right at home.
I will definitely contact you again when we plan our next Paris
trip.
Best Regards,
Janice Johnson

Dear Sauveur,
Today is our last day in your lovely apartment. We have had just
the most wonderful time - and have loved coming back to your
wonderful neighborhood and charming apartment. Paulo was so kind and helpful.
We have eaten all of our meals in your neighborhood - so good!!!!! This is
such a nice area and the subway is great for getting everywhere. Truly, everything
was perfect in your apartment. We couldn't have been more pleased.
.......
Again, thank you for sharing your lovely apartment with us. We
all have loved staying here. ...
