A Canadian in Paris

JULY 14TH, 2009

A Canadian in Paris

Last Bastille Day, we dabbled in French culture (read: merlot and a Marion Cotillard movie marathon). This Bastille Day, we're plunging in with trip-planning to Paris that will have us seeing the city more like locals and less like touristes.

The key to living more like a Parisian—if only for a week—is living in a Parisian pad. For the price of a hotel, and sometimes less, you can procure an apartment that provides a kitchen to cook your market finds in and a washing machine that lets you pack lighter. No sketchy Craigslist communiqué required with sites like Cobblestay, which offers a shortlist of the chicest flats, and Paris Hideaways—managed by an ex-Montrealer—that boasts broader, budget-conscious finds.

That and a brush-up on our en français and we're practically ex-pats.
