Had a wonderful stay here. Would definitely return. Unfortunately, our timing wasn’t ideal. The terrorist attack and climate summit understandably heightened security and closed down roads and certain areas. Philippe and Nathalie(our hosts) had a slew of alternate travel routes/tours/attractions so that we didn’t feel like we were missing out. We’re not people who let fear rule us so we enjoyed our time in Paris and its people. We took full advantage of Philippe and Nathalie’s knowledge and expertise. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time. This B&B will exceed all your expectations. Would definitely return

In the crazy, larger than life metropolis that is Paris, Philippe, Nathalie, and Courcelles-Parc truly felt like our home away from home. First off, our flight was delayed by a couple hours and we arrived very late in the night, much later than expected. Philippe waited up for us and quietly showed us around the building and our room and made sure we were settled before retiring for the night. Just one example of the incredible hospitality you’ll find here. The rooms at Courcelles-Parc are simply beautiful, you can’t go wrong with any of them. The building is old but very well maintained with beautiful, modern furnishings with a touch of Paris romance thrown in. We had a huge TV in our room along with a great shower, a large and very comfortable bed, ample closet space, a coffee maker, blow dryer, free wi-fi, and bottled water and cookies on our pillows every night. After long days spent touring Paris this was the perfect place to return to and unwind. We had breakfast every morning upstairs in Philippe and Nathalie’s apartment and although I usually prefer a hot breakfast, I was yearning for the fresh fruit and AMAZING basket of breads and croissants after we left. The bread and croissants were always just so fresh and chewy and flaky… everything you envision when you think of the perfect Parisien breakfast. Philippe also makes a fantastic(and strong) cup of coffee… a big plus in our book! Every morning Philippe would ask what our plans were for the day and give us advice and tips on where to eat, what to do, and how to get places. He was very helpful and funny and we enjoyed our talks with him every morning. It was also super convenient that the subway was just steps away from our front door! My husband and I were there for the first leg of our honeymoon and on our last morning, after arranging our taxi to the airport, Philippe gave me a beautiful book wrapped in a bow with a bride on the cover. It was a book with pictures and short descriptions of different wedding traditions around the world. It was so sweet and thoughtful, but honestly I wasn’t all that surprised. Just one last example of why Philippe and Nathalie are the best and Courcelles-Parc is the perfect place to stay in Paris.
