Our vacation apartment

Here's some details about the apartment where we'll be staying. It's at 17, rue de la Comete, in the 7th Arrondissement. I *think* I managed to grab the map and stick it next to this post - we'll see. Anyway, the apt is very close to the rue Cler shopping district.

Here's Rick Steves, the guidebook author our friend Robin turned us on to over 10 years ago, on that market street ...

Rue Cler — traffic-free since 1984 — offers plenty of space for tiny stores and their shops to spill into the street. It's an ideal environment for this ritual to survive and for you to explore. The street is lined with all the necessary shops (wine, cheese, chocolate, bread) as well as a bank and a post office. If you see anyone in uniform, they're likely from the Ecole Militaire (military school, Napoleon's alma mater two blocks away).
