Hello to you all. I have promised to take my daughter to Paris for a week during the Toussaint school break.
We have rented through Gail Boisclair's perfectlyparis website before and trust her. So, we have inquired about availability and have narrowed the choices down to 3. One of them is in the Pigalle District. The actual address is:
42 rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle 9th Ar.
I have read some pretty negative articles on this part of Paris. Anyone have any current info.? The apt. looks quite charming, but if it isn't necessarily safe for a Mom and daughter, we could remove it from our list.. Ideas?
Many thanks to you.

Hi toutou,
I'm sorry that I can't give you any information about the apt in Pigalle... I know that a few our members have rented from Gail in the past, so perhaps someone else will be able to help you.
I can, however, welcome you to our forum!! I hope that you enjoy it, and I hope that you'd consider giving some advice about your home area - I'm planning a trip to Provence/Vaucluse next Spring. ;D
In any event, I took my 3 teens to Paris last year and I'm taking my mom in December. I hope that you and your daughter have a great time!

Thanks so much Gitte. I didn't think Gail would steer us wrong. She knows we are mother and daughter.
So, now we will have to decide between the 3 apts.
Thanks so much for the info. I really information.

tou tou, I stayed in that area in May of this year at the apartment called Houdon Hideaway which we rented from Gail. We had 2 16 year old girls with us and we had no trouble at all. We loved ourapartment. The girls went off by themselves and the only trouble they had was at Sacre Coeur where the bracelet guys tied braclets to their wrists. How old is your daughter? You will see some invitations to peep shows and so forth right by the metro at Pigalle but there was nothing horrible.

Thanks very much jc. The peep show stuff and the sex parlors won't really shock my daughter. She's not quite as old as your girls, but she is way beyond most her age.
I am actually trying to wait close to the last minute to book the trip. It (the trip) is a bit of an incentive to get a good start in school. Since school has only just started, I am hoping Gail will have something left if I wait a bit.
