The wardrobe and cupboard on the landing could be converted to create space for a conventional staircase.

I think it also brought the area to the attention of Parisians, many of whom wouldn't have heard of it before. They chose the town because it is so unchanged from years gone by.

This has made a huge difference, but it hasn't spoilt anything.

I had thought about landing in the Kremlin, but there wasn't enough space.

It is incredible what kind of mess I can make
with a nine-hour drive and an unanswered text.

You've got to create the space, then fill it.
