Our Apartment in the 7th
After this morning, the forecast looked good and indeed weather the enitre week was about as good as you can expect for late December.
Despite the Metro strike and it being a Monday morning, the drive from the airport to our apartment was less than an hour.
And as if on cue, the sun came out as we crossed the Pont de l'Alma.
Our home for the next week... on avenue de la Bourbonnais. Despite lots of research, finding a full two (king) bedroom, two bath spacious apartment in a nice area at a reasoable price was a challenge. We finally settled on an 1,500 sq. ft. apartment in the 7th from parisforrent.com.
With elevator...
.. albeit a very tiny elevator with a 3 person, 225kg capacity.
Our modern apartment on the 7th floor of an 8 story building.
And a full on Eiffel Tower view.

Bedroom 2.
After a couple hour nap, I headed out for water and other basic food supplies. There was a convenient Franprix at the corner of our block. Then towards rue St-Dominique for wine, cheese and fruit.
And wonderful fromagerie.
Then past our restaurant for tonight.
The kids arrived around 3pm and promptly went for nap-time. A little later, time for some wine and cheese with baguettes.
The view from our apartment with the top of the hour light show...
Just before 8pm, we headed for dinner at nearby Au Bon Accueil, a three minute walk from the apartment.
My paté. Delicious.
My first Rum Baba of the week... delicious.
