Love to know more details.
Excellent find, bes! I especially liked the pictures of some of the stuff they found. I seriousy have to wonder how it remained clos up for 70 years though. SOMEbody had to have gone in, non?
That is incredible. I wonder how many more apartments there are like that in Paris...there have to be more.
In NYC there was a similar apartment owned by two brothers who died, IIRC, in 1941. The townhouse they lived in in Manhattan had not been touched for 50+ years and they hoarded all kinds of stuff from the 1890s til their death. There have been a few good books written about them...their name escapes me.
Man, might have been nice to know her grandmother... ;)
