A fully equipped studio is a student’s delight A comparison of two apartments between Bastille and Nation

Lucas and Théo, 17, are childhood friends from Orléans. They were both accepted to medicine in Paris and enrolled in the same private tutoring programme. Their parents, wishing to support them during this decisive year, decided to rent two fully furnished large studio apartments at the beginning of the summer.

Both of the furnished long-term rentals are close to their university and within a short distance of each other so that the two students can support each other. Any additional half hour saved to study can make a difference! On top of that, both mums insisted on scheduling two hours of cleaning and one hour of grocery shopping per week. There was no way they could let their children worry about all this while studying. They have better things to do and wouldn’t know how to either! Really?

It’s been a few months now that both young men have been living alone in Paris. Sophie is pacing in the street. She is fidgeting with Lucas’s spare key to his studio apartment. She can no longer wait and decides to ring Isabelle.
“Hey! Have you heard from Théo? Is everything okay?
– I think so. He sends me a text every night. What about you, have you heard from Lucas?
– Not since Monday.
– That was only three days ago though.
– I’m in Paris for an appointment. I’ve got a set of keys to his studio, and I was thinking of dropping by to leave him some food and see how he is managing on his own. I can also leave some groceries for Théo if you’d like, you can pay me back later.
– No, thanks: don’t worry about it, Clara does his grocery shopping on Wednesdays. He has everything he needs and the marché d’Aligre is just around the corner. But I wouldn’t drop by without calling first. They’ve flown the nest! So having their mom drop by unexpectedly is a bit intrusive!
– You really think so? … Maybe. You’re probably right. I’ll call him first. Thanks for the tip! I’ll let you know.”
An hour later, Sophie calls Isabelle back, and she immediately answers the phone and asks:
“So? Any news?
– They’re fine, better than expected: don’t worry! I did what you said and called my son before showing up. I was surprised, he answered my call. I thought he was at university. He was working on one of his tutoring classes at his place, with Théo. They were actually pleased to see me! I popped up for 10 minutes. It gave them a short break and it was the opportunity for me to take a quick look around and check if everything was going well. Believe it or not, the studio was impeccable. Not even a sock lying on the floor! The apartment was spotless. He had even just put the washing machine on. I can’t believe it! He used to be unable to tidy anything up in his room back at home! I have to say I’m a little concerned!
– Yeah, I understand. If only the same thing would happen to Théo!
– Well, you won’t believe this. Who do you think taught Lucas to use the washing machine?
– …”
