Le Chat Qui Dort

We rented the top floor 2 bedroom, 2 floor apartment for a long weekend family stay this week. We chose it as it was in the old quarter and so minutes away from scores of characterful bars, restaurants and shops in beautifully picturesque, cobbled streets. The apartment itself was clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped - very pleasant indeed. We have rated 3 stars due to the difficult access that wasn’t mentioned during our search. Being an old building in the old quarter you would expect some ‘quaint’ and original features but the tiny, steep, curving, unevenly spaced wooden staircases that have wobbly handrails and missing posts are of a standard that would not pass building regulations in the UK. In an emergency situation I have no doubt at all that people would die. There are no fire doors between floors so the stairwell is basically a very steep, narrow, wooden chimney. Do not book if you have any kind of difficulty walking or if you are elderly or claustrophobic. Would we recommend? Sadly not - for all but the youngest of visitors.

Bel appartement fonctionnel propre situé au deuxième étage dans rue peu passante donc relativement calme Deux bémols :son accès : un escalier étroit et très raide assez difficile avec de gros bagages et une condition physique dégradée... et son insonorisation intérieure. Mais appartement très bien situé aux abords de la magnifique vieille ville ou cafés restaurants boutiques sont très proches avec une boulangerie à proximité. Hébergement à recommander.
