Faux Pas

Hi Everyone, 🙂

I am sharing this last post from Paris wih you all. Our trip to Paris this time was unlike any other trips we have had. While travelling all these years and staying at some of the most gorgeous hotels in the world, we somewhere developed a craving for staying in an apartment..just the way locals do. It was very fascinating for both of us. It’s like unveling the secrets behind those gorgeous French Balconies. 😛 We wanted to travel slow, not really be bothered about visiting at every hot point in the city and just taking each day as it comes. And we did that and it was one of the most amazing things ever. I mean we won’t be doing that all the time but every once in a while. It’s like having a home away from home. It was very comforting. So today I am want to share the details of where we stayed, how we managed and what were the challenges we faced.

We stayed at Jean Charles Apartment loft at Les Marais. We found it through Air Bnb. It was such a lovley , airy and spacious apartment. Probably my living room here in India is as big as the whole apartment we had in Paris. 😛 But it was airy, spacious, well maintained, and just very cute. The hosts were so nice. The kitchen was pretty spacious. We had a cute dining table. Oh! The bathroom had no doors. It reminded me of our hotel in Spain.:P The bathroom was separated by a wall. If you are not really staying there with your partner, I would not recommend it. They provided us with fresh towels and sheets weekly. In kitchen you had everything – kettle, dishwasher, oven, utensils..You had a washing machine, dryer and iron downstairs. If you needed anything, you would alwys message the hosts and they were always helpful. I mean I could go on and on! The area was gorgeous. Monoprix (their department cum food store) was right nextdoor. The street had the most gorgeous restaurants and coffee shops. That area was famous for its restaurants so it was always buzzing with people. There were loveliest vintage stores, nail salons, museum and books shops in that area. Sometimes we cooked at home, sometimes we used to go downstairs to eat and just walk around.. You know it was like a new day every day. No plans. Just work, relax, enjoy wyourself and plan as you go. 🙂 Continue reading →
