Hollis and Ric Castillo's apartment 3 boulevard Delessert, Paris, France

Home   Cette page en Français

This is at a short walk from the Eiffel Tower that are installed, in a opulent-looking building, Hollis and Ric Castillo. Hollis being a rich heiress, she thus offers her couple a comfort that Ric, coming from a Hispanic middle class family, had never experienced before. The shooting outside the building on the Boulevard Delessert are numerous, the team of the show having specially come to shoot these episodes in Paris in sign of thanking in the loyalty of the French televiewers.

Despite the fact it is located in the heart of the French capital, the boulevard is relatively calm. The sidewalk is lined with trees, and the entrance to the building faces a hotel from which Eden Capwell Castillo and her sister Kelly check Hollis and Ric's comings and goings. Because Eden came to Paris in a very specific purpose : to get the confirmation that Charisse, Hollis and Ric's baby, is hers, kidnapped at birth.

We enter the apartment directly into a small very dark vestibule, lit with a few candelabras hanging on the walls. Large curtains hide the double-door entrance to the living-room.

This living-room is richly decorated in a style very bourgeois : antique furniture, statues, art objects... Wood and gilt give an impression of museum in which it is difficult to imagine that it accomodates a family life. Some large French windows on the front offer a view of Paris, despite large curtains which obscure the daylight. The living-room hides a safe, in which Hollis puts precious jewels.

At the end of the room, a door leads to the other rooms of the apartment.

Some long corridors so richly decorated, but more enlightened, allow to reach the various rooms. First Hollis and Ric's bedroom, where Ric will repeatedly make proposals to Kelly. This is besides in this bedroom closets that Eden and Cruz will find the medical documents that will enable them to identify Charisse as their daughter Adriana. Adjacent to the bedroom, we find a bathroom, in which Eden and Cruz will hide from Hollis and Ric. The baby's bedroom and the kitchen come then.

At Hollis's death, drowned in the Seine, Ric will be kicked out of the apartment by his in-laws. He will have for only choice to leave Paris to return in the United States, and more exactly to Santa Barbara where is the rest of his family.
