Our lift

The apartment building we are staying in has a "lift."  A good thing since we are on the third floor, which really means the fourth floor because in France the ground floor is zero. 

It's an engineering marvel.  Someone custom designed an elevator shaft to fit in the space created by the stairwell as it snakes it's way up.  It is a pizza wedge. 

Our landlord told us the quarters in the elevator would be "close."  See if you can figure out how close by watching the video of Jan and me ascending.
