Bonjour from Paris! I have moved into my apartment and am getting settled into living in Paris. First, I will give the basics. I live with Anne and Jean-Charles Guillien in the 20th
arrondissement of Paris. Anne and Jean-Charles have two children, neither of which live at home. They live in a moderate size apartment with a living room, piano room, kitchen, toilette, study, my room and their room. Anne works for the government and works with the department that deals with unemployment in France. Jean-Charles is an artist and he is also a teacher in Ve
rsailles. They are both very nice and pleasant people. They speak very limited English, so we speak French most of the time. This is good because it is exactly what I wanted. I live in the 20th arrondissement, as I said before, in an area called Belleville. It has a large immigrant population, mostly Jews, North Africans and Chinese people. I've been having a great ti
me here so far. The only negative thing I can say is that I arrived in France on Monday and things have been going non-stop since then. I'd love to have a day to rest and wander around my neighborhood. I should be able to do this on Sunday. On this post are pictures of my room and bathroom. Don't worry, I will post more pictures in the following days. I hope everyone reading this blog in the States is doing well. Enjoy the pictures!
