We’ve slept on the wooden floors of floating houses in Cambodia, shared cramped hotel rooms in Peru, shivered in freezing tents in the Sahara, and slept four to a train compartment in China. But for one month, we traded the lives of Nomads for the lives of Parisians. And what an incredible place in Paris we found! Never has an apartment been such an important character in our journey. Through sheer determination, we scoured airbnb.com and vrbo.com (and several more obscure sites) looking for a place to call home for an entire month. In the 10th arrondissement, on the very happening Canal St. Martin, we got lucky. Check out what we found. If the owner would have allowed us, we’d have stayed forever.
What a find! Like any good porn, I only had to watch a few seconds of it and I was already “finished.” Keep the happy endings coming. (One pun too far?)
Miss you all so much!!!!!
Amazing!! Enjoy!! Xo
What a great pad! Where next? Are you going to Copenhagen at all? We met some nice people there, etc.
We will be in Copenhagen in mid-June from the 16th to the 20th. We look forward to whatever tips you guys have.
Love it! Any chance you’ll be passing through Cannes next week? I’m there 5/16-5/22.

Actually, we were in Cannes a couple weeks back — the calm before the storm. During those dates, we’ll be traveling between Venice and Berlin. Sorry to miss you!
Ah how I love Real Estate porn. I’m an addict. How do I rent that place?
Here’s the link where we found the place on vrbo: http://www.vrbo.com/444931
Because we were staying for a month, we were able to negotiate a more favorable rate than the nightly rate you’ll find advertised. And the lovely owner really appreciated the spirit of our around-the-world journey.
I love it. I know that neighborgood and it is my favorite in Paris.
Ah, Paris!
What an awesome apartment! And what an awesome year you all are having.
Beeeuuutiful! The tutor.

I never thought I was a real Paris an, but your experiences are swaying me to give it another chance someday. I want to see more of Franny dancing!
So nice. But I AM getting tired of feeling jealous.
Never set foot in the 10th in all my time in Paris. looks great. when you’re in Copenhagen make sure to eat at Ida Davidsen.
