It appears that .saintonge is back in Paris and every time I see Gretchen’s posts, I think about her lovely tiny place in the Marais. Designed by Marianne Evennou, it’s small size directed the scale and materials and furniture and the result is a beautiful and functional space. Beyond the design elements though, it reminds me that we don’t have to keep trodding the same path just because it’s expected of us —
“The apartment represents many parts of me, but mainly my future. It’s a little jewel box and a quiet haven in the middle of Paris, in the middle of life.”
You can read Gretchen’s personal story of buying her apartment during the height of Covid and creating a new life divided between the US and France in Issue 2.
