We loved our stay at N.D. Galande. This was our second time renting the apartment because it was nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was fantastic and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. The terrace was a treasure and we enjoyed it every evening. In addition to the lovely living room, there were several other areas to hang out and relax after a full day of sight-seeing.

We were very pleased with this apartment and the wonderful service provided by Welcome 2 France. Everything was very efficient and friendly........reserving, paying, arranging access, car transfer service, orientation, etc.... The apartment is in a great location and met all of our needs. Being on the sixth floor and the tiny elevator were a challenge for those of us who aren't in great shape....but this was communicated to us in advance. It's the price you pay for the great views. We would be happy to stay here again and will call on Welcome 2 France for our future visits.

We have used Welcome2France before so were sure their suggestion on Notre Dame-Galande was a good one for our party of 4 adults.
When we got there and actually saw this gorgeous apartment, we could not believe our eyes. The photos online do not do it justice.
Our stay was to be for 2 weeks and we loved every minute. From watching the Eiffel Tower each night light up then twinkle on the hour, to watching Notre Dame come alive at night with all the various night life and happenings in the square.
Our street Rue Galande was very typical of the area, with restaurants, coffee shops, crepe shops and grocery and bakery within 2 blocks.
One of our favorites on our corner is La Solita Taverna (Italian) with the coldest beer around and across the street La Dante (French Bostro). The crepe shop downstairs - Les Galandines was also special. Our bakery -Bertrands is only2 blocks away and there are 2 Grocery stores (Carrefour and Franprix) within 2 blocks walk to get your daily needs.
If you walk 2 blocks down Rue Galande and cross Rue Sainte-Jacques you will be on Rue Saint-Severin (next to Eglise Saint-Severin Church). On this short 3 block street you will find at least 50 restaurants with 3 course meals offered from 10euros which we tried many of that were all great.
At night, we would retreat to the Rooftop Terrace and watch Paris come alive in lights. From Notre Dame across the street, to the Eiffel Tower to Scare Couer in the distance, it all can be seen from this magical apartment.
We would highly recommend this apartment to all. We were 2 couples that preferred our space and this apartment allowed the privacy we needed with Master down and 2 bedrooms up.

This apartment is simply amazing!! There were 6 of us and it was a perfect size. Great area, lots of restaurants, grocery store right down the block, very safe, bakery to get fresh baked croissants every morning and quite frankly we believe the best part of Paris. The piece de resistance is the rooftop patio where you can see Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower!!! Many a night was spent up there, sipping a glass of terrific wine and just enjoying the view. We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful place to stay for our week in Paris and would not stay anywhere else when we return to the City of Lights. We were there from May 31, 2017 to June 7, 2017.

My sisters and I had a marvelous time in the Notre Dame Galande Penthouse apartment. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio and the nighttime rooftop views of the lights on Notre Dame and the beautiful Eiffel Tower! We were close to all the site seeing or a short bus or cab ride away - and of course shopping! Our Hosts, Alicia and Valentine were extremely helpful in suggesting places to go and markets or restaurants for good food, wine and cheese and espresso! We had everything we needed to enjoy a gourmet breakfast in the apartment then head our for the day and return for a nightcap on the roof with a view! Comfortable bedding, well stocked kitchen and 2 bathrooms which worked out most of the time for 4 gals getting ready for the day. Thanks Alicia also for helping us with our train tickets to Caen for the Normandy Tour - a long day but well worth it! The apartment was a great place for my sisters to bond and yet roomy enough that we could get space from each other when necessary!!! My son was in Paris on business and stayed with us a few nights and was very impressed with the Notre Dame Galande Apartment. We would ALL love to come back some day soon!
