Do you know anything about the rue Tronchet?
It runs north behind The Madeleine toward <BR>Saint Lazare. Are you familiar with it? We've been offered an apartment there. How's the neighborhood? My memory is a bit rusty, but rue Tronchet was OK years ago.

The neighbourhood around rue Tronchet is OK but it is a very busy street, so it's going to be very noisy... <BR>Then it's a matter of building. On this street, there are mostly end of 19th century/early 20th century buildings. Some of them have been carefully refurbished, others not really. Anyway rue Tronchet is considered as a "posh" address in Paris.

Al: thanks to Francesca, here's a great site <BR>http://www.pageszoom.com/wrmm_rue_marchande.cgi <BR> <BR>type in the street and city, [rechercher] and you'll get a 'map' of the street with the businesses on it - some have photos, so you can get an idea what the 'hood looks like. <BR>And, you poor thing, you will be within walking distance of Fauchon - or, after a couple of weeks, waddling distance of Fauchon...

Many thanks, all you good friends. My bride of 48 years and myself (ages 70 and 73 respectively) are planning an extended stay in France, etc., starting with two weeks in Paris. Any suggestions for other places (in France or elsewhere) that we might enjoy? We've never traveled in Belgium. Amsterdam and Keukenhof are about all we have seen of The Netherlands. We have a theory that the more one travels (drives), the less one sees. Prefer rail, city to city.

Al: <BR> <BR>You might have already made up your mind about Rue Tronchet, but I just wanted to add that it's a very nice area...and to encourage you to stay there. It might be a bit noisy if you're on the front side...but...it's Paris! You'll be very near l'Opera in one direction and l'Orangerie in the other. Make sure to visit Fauchon....a great "deli" and high-class "grocery"...you'll see...right behind la Madeleine...it's an excellent neighborhood for walking...the big department stores aren't too far away either. Have a good time! <BR> <BR>Scott
