About our home

Our private, triplex loft used to be a cabaret in the early 20th century. Unique for Paris with a 550 sq. ft. entryway and a modern designer aesthetic, including the enormous, stainless steel open kitchen with brand-new Smeg induction stove, glass and chrome staircase, and giant skylight in the living area. It was featured last year in Marie Claire France magazine.

Our neighborhood is called So-Pi (South of Pigalle) and includes historic spots like the Moulin Rouge and Montmartre (Sacré Coeur) which are just a few minutes walk away. (The café from the movie Amélie is up the street from our house.) It's also one of the hippest/chicest (or "bobo") arrondissements in Paris, with St. Georges, Rue des Martyrs, the Hotel Amour and the organic Saturday market at Batignolles—again, a few minutes walk from our home.

The giant department stores Galeries Lafayette and Printemps are about a 10-15 minute walk from here. That street is also filled with every other imaginable retail shop! It's about a 10-minute cab/bike ride from the center of Paris, should you want to visit the classic tourist spots like the Louvre, Notre Dame, Pompidou, etc.

Buzzy restaurants
Casa Olympe (you'll probably see Gaultier there—we always do), Yoom (chic dim sum), Les Pates Vivantes (the best handmade Chinese noodles in Paris), Rose Bakery (brunch)
Cool bars
Le Mansart (right next door and the hottest bar/cafe in the hood),Hotel Amour
Cozy cafés
Anywhere around the corner
Retail therapy
Galeries Lafayette, Printemps, the Apple Store, little boutiques everywhere
Bit of culture
Montmartre/Sacré Coeur, Moulin Rouge, Opera Garnier
Walks in the park
Parc Monceau is a 15-20 min walk (or 5 min bike ride); there are also numerous children's parks and playgrounds nearby
Spot of exercise
Walking/biking up Montmartre is hardcore!
Day tripping
Versailles, Fontainebleau, Giverny, Parc de Sceau (for a lovely picnic), Marne La Vallée for discount shopping

3 Things about us

1
We are a couple with a toddler girl and a (soon-to-be) newborn boy
2
He is a French journalist with a show on Nat Geo; I am a Korean-American rock musician and writer
3
We are world travelers who are settling down a bit because of our growing family (never thought *that* would happen!) With our new baby-to-be, we're looking for summer exchanges that are closer to home and ideally someplace warm, sunny and near water, be it beach or pool. (But no worries, we'll be itching to do some travels further away once we get past these first few months!)
