No, really, they're called "studettes." Tee hee hee.



Ah, the French. So sophisticated. When American landlords offer bathrooms to live in, they're just ratholes like this one. But look at this "studette" Maï found! Check out the swank shower curtain, and the skylight! Imagine the delightful dinner parties you could host, the sparkling conversation... until one of your guests needs to use the bathroom, and things suddenly become rather awkward.

Chairman of the board


Found by Charlene: this... uh... apartment? Help me, Google... Ah, now it makes sense. It's a "Board of 8m ² and 22m3 on the 3rd floor," complete with a "toilet on the floor." Que bueno.

Time to get a bigger apartment


From cedric-from-belgium, it's It's Lovely's first (as far as I recall) Not Safe For Work listing! I've added a modesty Chair to the photo, but clicking on the listing link will reveal far, far more than one expects to be revealed in a real estate listing -- at least more than I expect, with my uptight American ways.

Hi! I mean, bonjour!



Laura found this happy trio in a listing. Unfortunately I don't speak French, so I can't tell you if they're included in the house. Probably, though. C'est pas grave!

Multi-tasking



This practical layout was found by Linnee, who points out that you can "do a load of laundry, take a seat, and... er... read." Me, I think the washing machine got lonely and wandered into the bathroom for a chat.

P.S. This photo was also in the listing, captioned "Under renovation." I think that's a bit cruel.
