"I Think This Is The Beginning Of A Beautiful Friendship." - Thursday, 29 September

So yup, finally, today I moved into "my" new Paris apartment (OK, OK, I own only 1/13 of it, but still...)  It's at 11, rue François Miron, in the 4th arrondissement, Rive Droite, just a couple blocks from the Seine and the western tip of L'île Saint-Louis (from which it’s just another short bridge to the back garden of Notre Dame).  Ma Maison Miron.  Couldn’t be more central!  

It’s a 14th-century building, one of the three oldest in Paris, and I kid you not, there is a steady stream of school groups and tour-groups-led-by-a-guy-with-a-flag and random tourists stopping in front of the building to gawk and to read the historical plaque.  You can find a bunch more info and photos on the apartment’s listing:  https://adrianleeds.com/explore-properties-for-sale/fractional-ownership/shared-property/ma-maison-miron/   

Here are a few more pictures of my own:

 

A small but efficient kitchen!

The "right-sized" fridge

A tiny kitchen sink, 
BUT HEY, it's marble!

Short and tall drawers containing
various tools and implements 

A washer-dryer!  Such luxury!

Plenty of plates, cups, serving dishes

Behind the "antique Paris map"
wall lies a host of cabinets and shelves...

...and even a giant air conditioner 
(don't need it this month!)

The view from the bed looking up
at the beams - the giant beam in the
 bottom third of the picture
 is about 12x12 inches

A giant shower with a 
nice low threshold

The view from my window.  
I often hear the clop-clop-clop 
of mounted police sauntering down 
the street - will try to snap a photo
of them one of these days!

It’s a beaut, all 200 sq.ft. of it!  Great for one person or two (if they’re very friendly!).  Cozy, comfy.  And in the heart of Paris!  What more could a girl ask for?!?
