Rent an apartment in Paris to see in 2011
After a less-than-great 2010, my partner and I are looking for 2011 to bring a change of circumstances. So, to get things off to what we hope will literally be a sparkling start, we’ll be seeing in the New Year in the City of Light – we’ve booked a rented apartment in Paris, thanks to a company called My Apartment in Paris.
