The latest one–bedroom rental (fairly priced, around $2300 for 12 nights) is on Boulevard Jean Hibert, just around the corner from the marina and a 10-minute walk to the Palais. It’s due south of rue Georges Clemenceau (where I bunked for two years with Washington Post critic Ann Hornaday) and Le Suquet (hilly old town). Now, let’s just see if the VRBO agent cancels because the owner has suddenly gotten greedy and wants $3K instead.
