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...  ;)

Great find. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing, besilarius.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.
