We've Moved!

We have settled into our permanent Paris home on Rue des Charles Nodier, Paris 18th arrondissement. Our beautiful 3rd floor apartment sits at the base of the butte Montmartre. Perched high on the 'Butte' (Paris's highest and most northerly hill), the area is tightly packed with houses, spiraling round the mound below the sugary-white dome of the Sacré-Coeur.

 

Despite the masses of tourists (chiefly around Place du Tertre) it is said to be the most romantic part of Paris – a place in which to climb quiet stairways, peer down narrow alleys onto ivy-clad houses, and watch the world go by in atmospheric cafes. Artists have historically been attracted to Montmartre since Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec memorialized the cabarets here in the late 19th century; even today an arty vibe lives on thanks to the film, music and media types that have moved in.

 

It's been a wonderful place to call home. Take a look.

 

2 person elevator = just enough space for me, a stroller, and a bag of groceries.
