Unusual Findings

On our house hunting mission we looked at 15 fully-furnished flats....and we saw a LOT of unusual things. I thought I'd share a few pics to make you smile.

The "Combo"
This delightful piece of modern machinery is refered to by all real estate professionals in France as "Le Combo." Looks like a washing machine, eh? But it does so much more...it washes...and then, it dries. Or so they claim. I am not entirely convinced. My hypothesis is that while it may wash and dry, it will likely do neither well.

1980s Shower
So, you live in the 16th District in Paris in a chic, traditional flat. You decide to remodel your bathroom. You decide on this? Really? Despite the fact that the rest of the place was truly idyllic, I couldn't shower here every morning. Deal breaker.

Wine, anyone?
We looked at fully furnished places which were to be fully stocked with dishes, flatware, etc. This place had one pot to boil water, three dinner plates, three salad plates, two bowls, two water glasses, and this.....

Grandma's Room
Yes, apparently adults slept here.  The bedding is some sort of Noah's Ark meets The Jungle Book. Tres chic. And I think the bed size is toddler bed x2.

Another "Combo"
I really don't understand how this one is even possible, but apparently it is - a microwave oven and a regular oven. All in one. Seems redundant, doesn't it?

Dorothy Simon Elementary School Drinking Fountain
Or world's tiniest bathroom sink. You decide.

Toilette
So, none of the bathrooms in the homes actually have toilets in them....the toilets are in a room all by themselves. And so well ventilated....

Je ne comprends pas.
