my little studio on rue saint maur

So I found a delightful little studio in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. It's in a hip little neighborhood and i live above two cafes, one that has live music every night. Unfortunately, August is when the people of Paris go on vacation, so those two cafes, along with many other businesses are closed for the time I am here. But there are still many that are open for me to visit! It is also a block away from a fairly large Islamic community, which is really interesting to walk through. Maybe I will take some pictures. Anywho, here is my place!

it's on the 5th floor. no elevator.

  2. Holy crap I'm so jealous! Are you smoking cloves and painting watercolours while wearing a beret? What arrondissement is that in?

    I read this article that made me want to visit the north coast of France. Maybe you could visit it in my stead...you know, for when you're over Paris.
