Hannah woke up to a mouse running through her bedroom, donc, she called me that morning to see if I could come help her clean and get rid of the little vermin. Of course I would! It was the start of my week of sickness and led to more concerning back problems but sometimes I just don't know when to say "no" to helping out a friend.
We scrubbed out her apartment room and found the place of entry of that little rat. While we stopped by every grocery store around her house, we could not find anywhere to buy a mouse trap or poison or "Souris-cide". Thus began our voyage over to the BHV and the famous rat-trap store in Paris: Destruction des Animaux Nuisibles. Interestingly enough, the store in which Ratatouille was inspired from and the store in which you can go see dead rats hanging in the window. A Paris landmark, if you will.
We went in and I just blurted out "elle a trouvé une souris dans sa chambre"... This got us rolling in the right direction. We decided not to drop a small fortune on the traps in this place and instead went to the BHV and picked up a nice, discreet rat trap and went on our way.
The thing still hasn't returned to Hannah's room but that may be a good thing...

“Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
― Henry van Dyke
