"La Carrotte" Apartement, Paris. We Miss it...

Apartement "La Carotte" certainly was a place that will forever be in our hearts. The view of Notre Dame out of our window amazed us every morning.

This is not a postcard shot. This is the actual view with the window open on a sunny day in January 2010.

Robespierre back from the Maubert market with haricots verts. Note: Chef is testing wine glasses for leakage...... and to make sure wine is A OK. He's very dedicated.


The fireplace in the living room with books and a little crown from one of the king cakes at a local patisserie.



A little plate of macaroons and sauternes our last treat before we left. Not from Laduree, but from another bakery we will expound on later in the Marais. We liked these better.




View at night......Seagrass and white slipcovers....Gold accents.


Who wouldn't be comfortable in a place like this?


Robes hard at work checking e-mails ( you can't see the wine glass.)


I forgot to rotate this before it was stored DUH but this is the bedroom fireplace.
My Apologies, just turn your head......:) Whatever...I don't blog for a living....No Arianna Huffington here thank you very much...


The bedroom with the silk fabric headboard and cherubs...

Robes bidding adieu, adieu, to you and you, and you. Already inked it for next year.
Thanks, Jenny.

  4. It looks like a real home away from home. A much better idea then a sterile hotel room.

  10. Hi Maryanne,

    I loved seeing your photos of your apartment in Paris. What a lovely place and view and it must have been hard to leave.
    Renting an apartment is such a great thing to do, when in Paris. That is what we also did for 8 days.

    Hugs
