Dear
Parler Paris Reader,
One can almost feel the summer coming to an end...sadly.
Everyone who has taken their summer vacations outside of Paris are landing
back at the end of the week to start life again in what we call "La
Rentrée" - or "re-entry." They have been missed
by those of us 'holding up the fort' in their absence, but there is
little pleasure in seeing the warm, sunny days of summer dwindle to
nothingness.

HOT
PROPERTY: You must act quickly!
We don't make these offers very often, but this one is worth acting on immediately.
This proven rental
apartment just off the oldest shopping street in Paris, rue Montorgueil,
well furnished with years of high occupancy rate, is for sale by one
of our readers. This 30 square-meter two-room (one-bedroom) "pied-à-terre"
with kitchen and bath plus cellar, has three windows overlooking a charming
courtyard and parquet flooring. Located on the second floor on the small
pedestrian street of rue Greneta, in one of the city's most central
and desirable districts, is offered to our readership at 255,000 euros
-- a real bargain considering all it has to offer.
The apartment will sell THIS WEEK to a select number of people who viewed
it yesterday, but you still have an opportunity to secure it, if you
DO IT NOW.

Paris Nouvellettre® continued...
One
of the pleasures of the warm weather in a city that sees more gray
skies than most, is the abundance of exposed arms and legs, shoulders
and necks, even bellies and cleavage. In this world we call Paris,
the women are stylish and beautiful (of all ages), the men (particularly
the young) are confident and handsome, and all those tanned fit
bodies are simply eye candy.
When the weather is as glorious as it was yesterday, the other "woman" who shines is "La Grande Dame de Paris" herself -- La Tour Eiffel. Silhouetted against the bluest of skies with nary a wisp of anything to mar its texture, she was as magnificent as any wonder of the world.
It's shocking that in July 2007, the NEW seven wonders of the world, as per a popularity poll organized by the New7Wonders Foundation, didn't include the Eiffel Tower, although it ranked among 13 semi-finalists along with the Statue of Liberty and Stonehenge. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/ ) Considering that since her birth March 31, 1889 and up until December of 2008, that her iron 'legs' have welcomed 243,376,000 visitors, one would think the world would have taken more notice.
Never mind. We did. And so did lots of other locals and tourists on Sunday afternoon. In the Trocadero fountains at the Palais de Chaillot were dozens of adults wading in the green waters reminiscent of Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg sloshing around in the Trevi Fountain in Rome in Fellini's film "La DolceVita." Children were sliding down the granite sides being dumped into the pool as if they were plastic slides in a water park. Women had removed their blouses to sunbathe in their bras and no doubt, a good time was had by all.
Several weddings were taking place on the grounds of the Champs de Mars with family and photographers snapping up their good fortune to have such a perfect backdrop. Their decorated limousines were waiting patiently at the base of the monument to take them to their receptions. Meanwhile our shoes gathered the dust of the dirt pathways as the "pelouse en repose" (resting lawn) was fenced off to recuperate from recent trauma (thousands of people having picnicked there recently on Bastille Day).
My
shoes are forever dusty this particular summer -- with the demolition
of "Le Saint Tropez" and "La Brigitte" under
way (the studio and the "studette" that is no longer the
"viager" it once was) and the finishing touches being
put on "Le Palace des Vosges" for its inauguration next
week. This is the final week of summer to be cleaned and polished
up in preparation for La Rentree and all that is in store for them
and where my feet take me in the days to come.

la prochaine...

P.S. Scroll back to the top to learn more about the apartment for sale that is guaranteed to generate a regular rental revenue, but won't last long!
P.P.S. Le Saint Tropez and La Brigitte will soon be offered for rental as of December 2009 (soon to be posted on parlerparisapartments.com ) and Le Palace des Vosges is selling out quickly, so don't let this opportunity to own an apartment in the Place des Vosges pass you by.
