A Rainy Morning in Batignolles
Rain gently falls over the rooftops of Paris, awakening the Batignolles district in a hushed, poetic atmosphere.
The cobblestones glisten, umbrellas bloom like flowers, and in the cafés, the steam from hot coffee mingles with the sweet scent of pastries.
At Joli Môme, an urban guesthouse in the 17th arrondissement, guests watch the city awaken through the large windows of the living room. The light is soft, the armchairs inviting, and conversations blend with the gentle clinking of cups.
Here, the rain isn’t an inconvenience, it’s an invitation to slow down and experience the capital in a different way.
