Any true Francophile will inevitably dream of having a pied-à-terre in Paris--- a place to put your feet up after long strolls along the Seine, a place to transform your latest market fresh produce into dinner for friends, a place to stash all of those "petits trucs" you've discovered at the Marché aux Puces St-Ouen.
As much as we may long for our own little piece of dear Paris, often our daily lives and budgets may keep us away from this real estate fantasy. Until that glorious day when a Paris apartment might be mine, I've resigned to making my own apartment as Parisian as possible.
