Note 91 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
Called logement to distinguish it from the appartement, which is more pretentious. The kitchen of the logement is provided with running water and gas; and the gas company is required by law to furnish the tenant who does not pay more than 500 francs a year rent a new gas range, gratis. Ateliers are relatively dearer, and the artist does not easily find an atelier in which he can live and work for less than 600 francs.
