Paris: Our apartment

We've rented an apartment in the Montparnasse neighborhood in Paris. We're in a "modern" building, perhaps dating from the 50s or 60s, on the fifth floor (by European counting) or the sixth floor (by American counting). The highlight for me is the view of the apartment buildings across the street, grand, elegant old buildings. The wrought iron balconies differ from one floor to the next, and I enjoy looking out the window comparing the designs.

When we were out walking our first day in Paris, we saw another row of apartment buildings with somewhat the same style, which I think is beautiful.
