A (relatively) quiet Paris studio in which to write a book?

Tenant Looking for a Home in Paris, IDF, France
Monthly Budget: Maximum EUR €1000

Looking for an Entire Home
Tenant Timing: From September 1, 2026 until May 31, 2027

Description

I'm a professor of philosophy in the United States and will be on sabbatical in Paris this coming academic year. I will have visiting researcher status at a French university (Poitiers), and will be researching at the BN and giving a few talks in France and Germany. (One of my research specializations is 20th century French Philosophy and I translate philosophy F->E.) Aside from that, I'll be visiting my French family and friends and enjoying Paris, where I went to high school, and have spent a lot of time since. I know my way around Paris, and although I have friends and family in the 18th and 10th, and it would be nice to be close to them, my priority is finding housing that is relatively quiet and light, so that I can write at home as well as in libraries. I should add that, especially since I own a home in the US, I'm attentive to treating others' spaces respectfully as a tenant. I would also be fine tending to your plants, mail, or other property-related tasks, if that would help. I would be happy to communicate further if a match seems possible!

I am fine with utilities included or not included

Comments: I'm looking for a studio that is quiet and light, ideally. And I would keep it clean myself.

Considerations

I prefer smoking not allowed in the home

Connectivity

Wi-Fi

Comments: It would help to have a desk. I would prefer a washer, but that's not a dealbreaker. Most important is relative quiet (it's Paris, after all!) and some light.
