Shoulder Season in Paris

The tourist advisers recommend traveling to high traffic areas in "shoulder season".  Usually spring and fall for Europe.  You can get better deals, and suffer less from crowds.  And we decided that would be a good time to go to Paris, trying on our new Airbnb homes.  We negotiated a great rate on a lovely Montmarte area apartment.  It is lovely!  One bedroom with a sofa/sleeper for the teenager.  And it's a big enough bed for both the hubs and I to sleep on comfortably.

With a small home office in the bedroom to work from and a separate work area out in the living room for the hubs, it has everything we could need, including high speed internet and close access to cafes, shopping and public transit.

It is also chock o'block full of lovely antiques and bric-a-brac.  The owners of this fine location are archaeologists by occupation.  Their home is full of lovely objects, including some ivory, crystal, antique oil paintings and pottery items.  It is stunning and everything we could have hoped for.  My "home and food karma" has prevailed.

We have been here less than 24 hours and I've already gotten a new job order from a previous client and the hubs has worked on several mediations.  The "we can work from anywhere" is in action.  And we will be enjoying the city of Paris during the mornings, beginning our workdays at 3PM, 8AM Mountain standard time.  What a perfect city for the teenager to begin his art appreciation class in his new online school!
