Small and Cozy

A little more sober this time, though that should change at any moment (it is amazing that there's no hangover when drinking the wine, here. Back home I'd have a goodly headache the next day. None of that, here). So today I'm taking you on a tour of the apartment. It'll take longer than you think because I've taken a lot of pictures.

Ah, here we are at the entrance to 3, rue Jacques Callot.




Entering the top-secret code, you find yourself in the vestibule.




At which point you have the daunting task of lugging your luggage up three flights of stairs.




But the prize at the top is this quaint door. You simply knock and my beautiful wife answers immediately!




The door doesn't seem very solid, but take a look at it from the inside. We're living in a safe.




Then we pan around to the living area. Don't tell Shannon that I'm showing it with a diskempt bed.




And now, the bathroom, which was added just recently. For centuries (yes, centuries) people living here used a water closet between floors, maybe one WC for every two or three floors.




Ah, and breakfast at our little table.




Looking out our window at the street below.




Looking at the building across the street.




And finally looking from the street up at our colorful windows.
