We arrived about 10am in Paris. Belle met us and helped us with the buses to their apartment. We then walked out for a crepe, but I was getting motion sick from the flight.

It was on the third floor at 5 Rue du la Huchette. Indeed you could see the Notre Dame out the window.

According to Wikipedia: The rue de la Huchette is one of Paris' oldest Rive Gauche streets. Running eastward just below the Seine river from the Place Saint-Michel, it is today an animated Latin Quarter artery with one of the highest concentrations of restaurants in the city — Greek specialties predominating. It is situated between Boulevard Saint-Michel and Rue Saint-Jacques and faces the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. This almost exclusively pedestrian street is very popular with tourists. The rue de la Huchette existed as early as 1200 as the rue de Laas, a road running adjacent to a walled vineyard property known then as the clos du Laas. The property was sold and divided for urban development in the early 13th century, grew many noble properties in the centuries following, but from the 17th century the rue de la Huchette was known mostly for its taverns and rotisseries ("meat-cookers").

5 (this apartment building) - Le Caveau de la Huchette, a sixteenth-century building, formerly a hotel (where Elliot Paul lived in the 20s and 30s); since 1946, one of Paris's most famous jazz clubs

10 - Former "furnished apartment" house where Napoleon Bonaparte was said to have stayed between 1794-1795.

Other view, from the windows. Bathroom is just out of view to the right, kitchenette is behind the partition, then the bedroom is the orange door.

They had a green car named Kermit. But it wasn't practical to drive it because if you move it you lose a parking slot.

Here is view a night. The apartment was above a nightclub. The windows sealed off some of the noise. Still you could hear a live band and people late into the night.
