37 sq meters . . . it is cozy

The great part about living in a small place is that you end up knowing just how much stuff you can live without, as well as what things you really want/need.  We are cozy here but not cramped.  If we were going to be in France long term I would really want an oven, but it is fairly easy to live without one with bakeries and pastry shops everywhere.

Here are the pictures of the apartment . . .

From the outer door a view of the curtain screening the laundry room

The clothes washer -- lid closed

The clothes washer with lid open --- works like a front loading machine (no agitator)

Clothes dryer :)

So as you can see it has all the room we need.  Having the windows open is very comfortable and if needed we can turn on the fan to help circulate the air (especially handy for drying clothes).  There has not been a day warm enough to require AC since we arrived.

Hope you enjoyed the tour of Chez Youngblood!
