Coming off the Metro, we walked on Rue Pierre Lescot, cut thru Rue de la Cossonnerie towards the main road of Boulevard de Sebastopol. It was a cool and refreshing morning, temperature probably below 20’C.
There weren’t that many people at that hour, the streets were quite empty when we crossed Sebastopol road and looked for the SFR shop on de la Reynie.
The picture above was taken from an angle towards Boulevard de Sebastopol. We had instructions on how to enter the building, codes and all, but the we had problems getting in. Can’t remember what was the reason but we couldn’t reach the owner, so I had to make an urgent call to my sister and asked her to contact him.
We booked at this beautiful bed and breakfast place called deLareynie Guest Houses (he has a few). They have a Studio in Notre dame, another studio in the Marais district, and finally rooms in the delareynie apartment. We chose the last one. It was fantastic location, and well kept. In hindsight, the studio would have been perfect too as we could have bought the many many fresh food and cooked our own meal (since we were on a budget).
It was still too early and our room wasn’t ready, so we decided to walk about and find some breakfast.
As you can see from Google Earth, the Georges Pompidou Centre was just behind our rooms, so that’s where we walked towards.
At that time, most shops were just opening and we were famished. So we shared sandwiches, various cuts of meat/kebabs and an espresso each of course.
We weren’t alone at our table
After a slow breakfast, we headed back to our rooms.
That’s my room in the photo above. A place for me to rest and relax for the coming week. Initially there were to be 4 of us, but my friend dropped out at the last minute, hence I downgraded to a single room.
That’s the bigger room with the balcony. It’s really lovely, simple design but nice touches.
That’s taken from the balcony overlooking Boulevard de Sebastopol. Lovely.
I will highly recommend the Delareynie rooms for travellers who wants a nice accommodation in a strategic part of Paris. It saves us lots of travelling time and it’s in a safe neighborhood. However, if you are in a bigger group who intend to party the night away and noisy……it’s may not be so suitable in the rooms because it is primarily still a private residence. Please get the studios then.
