The Luxury of Time
AppId is over the quota
One of the most luxurious things you can do in Paris is to simply spend time there, to not feel rushed. To allow yourself to saunter and shop, savor and sample. To feel and become a local, as if you live there and to feel as if you have all the time in the world to explore its secrets.
There is a sense of serenity in traveling this way. There is rarely a sense of serenity when you stay in a hotel when you travel, yet you can easily attain it by renting a Paris luxury vacation rental instead. Especially in Paris, where luxury hotels can often be a scene in the lobby as guests come and go and often have smaller than desired rooms that make you feel a bit cramped at times.
Being released from all of that and renting a large spacious Paris apartment is a true luxury in comparison. You can breathe a sigh of relief there. You won't have to deal with the restrictions of space that can make travel stressful. Stress is not a luxury.
Let's say you end up doing a lot of shopping. You can neatly stow all your bags in the closets in your apartment and not feel as if it is reducing your living space. Let's say you want to entertain, an apartment gives you the luxury of a dining table and full kitchen. Whether you cook or have your dinner party catered, it will feel like home and it will allow you to go on with your normal life and not restrict it because you do not have the room in a luxury hotel room. Even it is a suite, you still can't compare entertaining in your hotel suite with entertaining in your luxury apartment in Paris, can you?
Let's say you want to invite friends to stay or have grand children you want to come visit. Or you have kids and want to be able to bring their nanny as well to take care of them. You have the room!
Or you want to do business from your laptop on a nice big desk with enough space to spread out your papers and even have a secretary come in and help you once in a while during your stay. Not so easy in a hotel room and a bit too intimate a setting to invite in a secretary to work. But you have that luxury in a Paris apartment.
What about being able to continue your yoga practice or daily diet regime while you are in Paris? Honestly, this is very hard to find extra room in a hotel room. And it is hard to maintain your diet if you have to have all your meals out in restaurants. The luxury of having a rented apartment in Paris is the ability to lay out your yoga mat and stretch away. It is the luxury of having a kitchen which you can stock with your specific diet foods so you can control your intake.
What if you simply want time? Simply, time to be left alone to sleep all day if you choose and not be bothered by the hotel maid. You want time to take out your easel and paint brushes and paint next to a window with northern light, where you don't have to feel as if you have to clean up before the maid comes in. You want time to shop in every open air market in Paris and come back home to cook to your heart's content. You want time to shop and spread out all your purchases on a spare bed. You want time to take a class and have the teacher come to your place to instruct you. Again, a hotel room would feel a bit too intimate and constricting for that kind of activity.
So to spend your time luxuriously when you are in Paris, the ultimate is to block off more than a few days from your calendar and to rent your own Paris apartment. Then enjoy, with total serenity, all that Paris has to offer.
