Mais non, you say! I cannot live in such a small space! But clearly you are missing all the amenities. Here, let me show you:
Ah bien! Tres jolly. Mercy plates.

It claims to have cable TV, too. Presumably for all the time you’d spend relaxing in there, just you, your tiny bed, all those amenities and the TV balanced on your knee, I guess.
I love the thing jutting down from the escape hatch that would poke an eye out everytime you got into bed.
That could easily be remedied by wearing safety goggles to bed.
Or sleeping with your head at the other end.
You could always keep the escape hatch (skylight?) fully open . Just watch out for bats, owls … and pigeons.
And ‘hot and cold running salad’ has me rolling.
Does anyone else look at this and see Linguini’s apartment from Ratatouille?
Check for a chef’s hat and rat hair.
So at current exchange rates, that place costs more than my 3-bedroom, 1685 sq ft condo.
I wonder if it actually has a toilet. Or a bath. I think they needed two interior photos, instead of just one, to adequately cover the possibilities of this place. We’re missing half of it because it’s out of the frame.
It does say “1 bathroom” and “0 bedrooms”– clearly the bed is in the bathroom. Charming.
I also note that the listed area is 8 square meters, which translates to about 86 square feet. Not too different from your average family-sized camping tent. But you get a hot plate! And a salad bowl!
There seems to be some sort of shelf reflected in the mirror, that would be at the foot of the bed. So at least it has storage. Luxury living.
I’m assuming the toilet is on the other end of that …counter.
As for the shower, they probably stood in it to take the picture.
I admit we have a giant master bedroom closet, but our master bedroom closet is essentially the same size…and by that I mean, our freaking closet is bigger.
I actually have a tent that’s bigger.
es dere a toilette?
TOTALLY reminded me of Linguini’s.
This is in PARIS. Everyone wants to live in PARIS. I think it’s kind of cute.
Cute, yeah…I’d totally stay a month there. Not sure about buying.
Your own hermitage.
I don’t want to live in Paris so I guess I’m an exception. But it would be a nice place visit.
Moreover, in France, if a flat is smaller than 9m² you cannot sell it as a living…
But you can sell it as a bathroom?
The funniest thing is that if this wasn’t being billed as an “apartment” for foreigners, but was part of an expose on inhumane prison conditions, I’m sure a place this size would be a violation of EU Human Rights statutes and quel scandal!
This is taking the minimalistic approach to new depths.
when i first moved from my parent’s house, and moved in with my husband, we had a converted garage apartment. two rooms plus a bathroom. one room was a “living/dining room” and the other was a bedroom/kitchen.
yes, bedroom/kitchen. you couldnt QUITE sit on the bed and cook, but it was close. and the shower stall was so small i couldnt shave my legs in there. it was triangular and in the corner of the bathroom…if they had put a full sized one in, they couldnt have fit a toilet in the room. seriously. it was probably 6X3, the whole room.
i think the same designer made this one.
My father wanted us to move into his garage when we married, we were disinclined to take him up on it.
i dont blame you one little bit.
my first apartments was also two rooms, a living/sleeping room and a kitchen. With a bathtub in it. Like your bedroom/kitchen, I couldn’t QUITE sit in the bath and cook, but it was close!
Isn’t that one of those cheap student accommodation flats/room with ensuite facilities? I tried looking around, but this was the best I could find:

Ah, functional living quarters.
For 80,000€, I’d expect that place to come with Vincent Cassel.
The shelf in the mirror is the shelf beside the mirror, not an additional one.
The lamp is placed at the end of the bed(head of the bed) under that “eye poker”.
I wish there was another picture to show the other wall.
“Other wall?” What other wall, you greedy American pig? ;D
At least you’ll be able to enjoy the visits from the Chicken of Depression from the comfort of your bed when he makes his rounds. Bonus points if you know what I’m referring to there.
Are we sure this isn’t a prison cell? A tastefully decorated prison cell…
I do actually speak French, but nonetheless every time I see a reference to “studette”, my thoughts go to some strange, cross-dressing dwarf fetish kinda thing. Not real estate.
And I’ve had dinner at places like this in Paris. Holding the plate on my knees and stooping over.
Oh dear Lord – I had to google for some images for that term. I never realized you could create a piece of Salvador Dali art out of a real estate photograph. Everything is where you wouldn’t expect it to be.
I googled it too: many, many of these child’s playhouse-sized apts., and they’re ALL in France (or Francophone vacation spots). Do they really not have enough room to go around? Most Americans would immediately become claustrophobes in Europe.
In the great old houses of Paris, the servants quarters were in the top floor. These were known as ‘Chambre de bonne’ because they didn’t have a bathroom. When they are modernized and get showers/sinks, they are called ‘studettes’, which are then rented out…

I love how, if you actually read the listing, it seems like it’s supposed to be in English, but doesn’t actually make sense unless you speak a little French.
I get depressed just looking at the photos.
A few wall-hangings of the Blessed Virgin and some Playboy centerfolds and it would be just like “Lock Up!” Don’t forget a clear TV.
“Just got out of prison and miss the coziness? Look no further! This deluxe apartment has everything a person needs: a bed, a sink, a toilet for making wine, and a slot in the door where food can be delivered. Occupants are invited to enjoy the outside ‘garden’ area for an hour every day. Visitors are permitted on Tuesdays from 12-2pm.”
And there was I thinking that the bedsit shared by two of my friends back in the early 90s (with its “kitchen in a cupboard” minimalism) was the smallest flat I’d ever been in. . .
