The owner is friendly and welcomed us upon arrival. The house is very spacious and very old. It has the charm of olden days, but combines it with modern comfort. It is located in the city center, extremely close to a small but very convenient supermarket, a bakery, and other stores. In spite of this central location, parking was easy. Most of the times, parking was available directly opposite the house. If not, plenty of additional parking is available at only 2-3 minutes walking distance. Some noise from early traffic is to be expected in the mornings. We liked Chateau Thierry because it is quite close to both the champagne district and Disneyland. A day trip to Paris is easy as well, as direct trains take you to Paris in an hour, and there is ample free parking at the railway station.
