ile st. louis
We are in Paris – sort of an impromptu visit considering we made our plans about three weeks before we left! Try tracking down an apartment in Paris during June. Not an easy feat. We got seriously lucky with a petit studio on the Ile St. Louis, a little island (that I had no idea existed) in the middle of the Seine not far from Notre Dame. It’s almost like a little country village in the center of Paris – very peaceful and much lower key than the rest of the city. Most of the buildings are 17th century, including the one where we’re staying on Quai D’Anjou. You can see our “hotel,” the french word for townhouse, pictured in the historic print below – pretty cool. I’m completely charmed by this building, the apartment and its gigantic windows that open up to the Seine (and the trees along the bank whose leaves whisper us to sleep at night.) I never want to leave and we only have three days left! Hope to post more pics soon… and to share a bit about why we’re in Paris (exciting news, at least for me!)
