61. Similarities

62. Similarities...
Although France and the US are far apart, there
are similarities between the two homes. A
couple of those might be...
• in a large city
smaller rooms
• extremely homey and welcoming

63. Differences

64. Differences...
Of course along with similarities of the two
homes, there are also differences. Other than
location they are...
• more rooms (some odd -- sitting room)
less furniture
• rooms decorated with history
not as modern as ours

65. Conclusion

66. In Conclusion...
A Parisian townhouse is found in a large city.
They are very beautiful even though the space is
somewhat small. The house is full of history
with a slight modern touch. Although across
seas and in a completely different environment
and culture, the similarities between our homes
and theirs number, and differences are few.
