Our Apartment and Neighborhood


Our Neighborhood

Sunday we attended church at the American Church in Paris located on the Seine. We then started exploring what will be our new neighborhood.

Rue Daguerre - A pedestrian street with many shops and restaurants. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Daguerre&ei=IuAPTPq0GJCaOJXN4PsK&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCAQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Drue%2Bdaguerre%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GGHP_enUS367US368%26prmd%3Divm

The Lion of Belfort at the at the Denfert-Rochereau Plaza.















Rooms of the apartment





The apartment has long narrow windows and high ceilings. This is typical of the Haussmann redesign of Paris. http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/hist255-s01/mapping-paris/Haussmann.html

  2. Hey, there's an Americain nail salon next door! I could use a mani-pedi.
    Your new apartment may be small but wow, you're in Paris. The toilet does indeed have a space challenge but really when you think about it you don't spend a ton of time in there, and especially when there's so much to see and do outside!
    I love your blog -- thanks for including the links to stuff. Can't wait to see more.
