Where I'm Staying

If anyone's interested, I'm staying in an apartment in the Latin Quarter. I'm about 30 seconds from Saint Severin Church, which was started in the 12th century, and about two minutes from Notre Dame. I'm on Rue de la Huchette, which is a "tourist trap" kind of place, but it also is more authentic than much of Paris. It was marked as "unhealthy" during Hausmann's time, but luckily escaped being plowed under. My apartment has 16th century exposed timbers, and the original well is hidden in our little dirty courtyard (pictures tomorrow). My friend Terry Hall asked for video of the area at night, so here are a couple of Saturday night videos--sorry for the shaky video.
