About Me
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

ha! As if that will work....
There seem to be a lot of apartments available. My guess would be they're either too small or too expensive.
There aren't a lot of appartements for sale, people are willing to pay just about anything to get one and yet ... (We once offered 10 000e more than the asking price but someone offered 20 000e and paid cash!)
I know we have given up!
Wow, that's an interesting tactic! What happened to searching the obituaries?
Wow, what do you call a business card for a couple? A "Family Business card" sounds so mafioso.
Last name: D'Este. Address: Bd. de la Madeleine. Both sound very aristocratic! Maria O. Russell
