Renting in Paris


When you arrange for a hotel you call their 800 number and give your credit card number and you are done. When you rent an apartment everyone has to check the other out. When it is in Paris, you have to remember that your emails get there in their time which is 9 hours ahead of PDT. So there is often a whole day lag because they are sleeping while you are awake. The picture here is of the living room of a unit we are trying to rent. It is near the Louvre and the Seine, across from Notre Dame. The rental agent speaks English which is better than my French. We are not leaving for 6 months and it may take all that time to finish the deal ... plus it is in Euros and I have to use a converter to figure out what we spending.
