Flat in Paris

I finally have some good pictures of how it looks when the water heater is actually attached to the ceiling. Here are some pictures of inside the apartment and also the view from my French windows. I overlook some nice shops like Miss Sixty and Naf Naf and also a nice flower shop and boucherie (butcher shop). And my building is right over a café, called Café Montorgueil. Being next to the butcher shop and above a café has it’s ups and downs though. Sometimes my apartment ends up smelling like a giant meat factory…which now that I think about it, is probably why the Three Mousekateers are so in love with my place. This is my bed/couch. I added some cute early 1900 ad/poster things to my wall as decorations =) My favorite is the one on the bottom left that says Bievres de la Meuse.

This is the view if I stand at the farthest possible corner of my apartment. You can see my French windows overlooking the next building.

This is my bathroom without the water heater on the floor =)

That’s the view of my closet and the entrance door. And some more 1900’s posters.

And this is my kitchenette












This is the view when I look out my window to the right. If you look next to Naf Naf, there’s this ivy arch with a golden snail on top. That’s a famous restaurant that specializes only on escargot called L’Escargo, appropriately enough. I’ve been wanting to go there, especially now that I’ve tried escargot and kinda like it =)







That’s the view if I look directly below me. It’s a pretty flower shop but waaay too expensive for something that’ll die in a few days. The Asian practicality in me runs strong










This is a view of Rue Montorgueil if you’re standing on the street. It’s a popular street which is why tend to sleep with earplugs on. Sometimes it gets a wee bit loud but I like the liveliness of it =)









That’s the café that’s below me. The blue door is the entrance to my apartment =). When the café is packed, I have to squeeze through the patrons to get to my blue door. But the café workers are really nice. They’re Tunisian but fluent in every European language practically








.
This is Eglise St. Eustache. Its this beautiful Renaissance style church that’s within a 2 minute walk from my apartment. I pass it every day on the way to and from the metro station. I wanted to attend a symphony there but they don’t hold the symphony’s at this church too often so all of the times are when I am out of town. I think I’ll end up seeing a symphony at another church, St. Chapelle that’s more of a medieval/gothic style instead). Alright, well gotta go cuz my ride's here! Talk to you soon!
