"The rooms are pretty in a modest sort of way, with floral wallpaper and old-fashioned furnishings, and the welcome is homely and sincere."
Fodor's "Distributed among a trio of three-story buildings, Madame Le Floch's rooms have a distinct grandmotherly vibe with flowery wallpaper and lace bedspreads." Full review

Start your night in the flower-filled garden with a home-poured apéro, then make your way to one of the good bars and restos in the 5th.
