Temporary French Life

We've rented a tiny little place in the 1st arrondisement. The windows on the 5th floor look out onto a narrow European alley. A few steps from the building, we cross the street and we're at the Louvre, or Jardin des Tuileries if we wish, the Seine, the Metro...so central, we couldn't believe it.

Many local shops are closed for weeks this month, the Parisiens enjoying their vacation in south of France. However, we found a boulangerie around the corner, went to the open market for our fresh fruits and veggies, and have even found a routine with wine & cheese and an insatiable appetite for the daily baguette!
