Every year my mom rents an apartment in Paris for the entire summer…for months she lives in Paris and has this adventurous life and the only way my sister DS and I can see her is if we pack up and head to Europe for a few weeks and now we’ve been in this routine for so long, I can’t picture our family story without the ‘Paris Apartment’. Every few years we change locations so this apartment has been ‘home’ for us the past few summers and it might be my favorite yet. It’s bright and picturesque and the views are just unreal…Paris is my favorite city I’ve decided (although this recent trip to Seville is coming in at a close second!) The culture and beauty and resilience of Paris is remarkable…it is rich with history, even right down to the architecture and design of the apartments…herringbone floors, clean lines, romantic detailing in the fireplace and window fixtures…I could go on and on about this apartment, actually when we got to Paris I refused to let anyone settle in until I had photographed every square inch of the space…DS and mom were not amused let me tell you.
The trip this year had so many highlights…from the Champagne Tour to the first few days in Spain, it was so purposefully tranquil…actually quite necessary if you only knew the schedule I stepped back into returning to LA…looking at these pictures reminds me to breath deep and seek the adventures even in my busy-ness…happy weekend…

Would your mother consider adopting a 60yr old “child”?
OMG!!! I’m soooo jelly! LOL May I ask how many bedrooms is it and what is the cost? What wonderful memories for you and your mom over the years:-)
Love this. I spent 2 weeks in Paris in October, and stayed in a very similar architecture apt…beautiful flooring, windows, etc. LOVE!!
What kind of material is around the fireplace? Tile? Very unusual.
Are there interior or exterior shutters?
Did you find you had enough light with the curtains covering so much of the windows?
Very curious. Thanks!
Your Paris tradition sounds delightful. Lucky family!
The apt is beautiful. Your mother sounds terrific. Never comp;ain about packing up to visit her, it’s a privalidge and an adventure every year for you What kinds of things do you girls take with you there to make it feel like your home? Are there cute restaurants you go to ourtside of the apt? Have you run into the same neighnors after a few years? What do you girls do almost every time you go there in the summer? More pictures please!!
How awesome! I love out of the box family traditions and can’t wait to start some of my own.
Lucky, lucky you!! You are truly living the dream of so many who would kill for an annual trip to Paris in your own apartment! Would love to see photos of the bedrooms.
Wonderful! What neighborhood is the apt in? I lived in Paris 15 years ago and hope to spend some time there again soon and would love to know the areas you like! Thanks!
The apartment is in the 6th arrondissement. We love it there. You are so lucky that you lived in Paris! It is a dream city.
