Le Panier Enchanté - Suites & Spa

I stayed here for three nights during the Rugby World Cup 2023, and it was one of the best decisions I made. I booked this apartment as soon as the match venues were announced—about 18 months prior—and while many fans faced cancellations, my reservation was honored without any issues. The location is fantastic: don’t let the photos fool you—this neighborhood is vibrant, authentic, and full of charm. There are plenty of small, family-run restaurants serving delicious local food, and the streets are alive with street art and character. It’s a bit of a climb to get to the apartment—narrow stairs, cobbled paths, and several steps throughout the area—but it’s quiet, safe, and perfect for travelers looking to escape the crowds. The apartment itself was clean and well-equipped: fridge, hot plate, cutlery, and all essentials were present. The bed was comfortable and spacious, and while French pillows aren’t always the best, these were fine. Towels could’ve been softer, but that’s just me being picky. The shower was excellent—strong water pressure and endless hot water. Overall, an amazing stay. I’d definitely book again and thank the hosts for their warm hospitality.
