Elsa and Mischa aren’t your typical travelers. As a French-Dutch couple living by the sea in Croatia, they set out to find a home in Paris, but quickly realised that traditional ownership came with limitations: high costs, constant upkeep, and a space they’d only use a few times a year. Hotels felt impersonal, and Airbnbs were often unpredictable. What they really craved was true home away from home where they could settle in, reconnect with family and friends, truly living the Parisian lifestyle.

‍

That’s when they discovered August. Through a carefully curated collection of homes across Europe, Elsa and Mischa found a new way to enjoy city life, spaces that offer more than just a roof. August gives them connection, comfort, and the freedom to soak in vibrant locations, returning again and again without feeling rushed.

"The main reason we joined August was to create more moments with people we love. Whether it’s sightseeing with friends or having our kids visit, we now have a home base where we can really share time together. It’s about people for us, and these homes make that possible. They make everything feel more relaxed.” - Elsa and Mischa
