L'appartement paints the cozy picture of two lovers hiding from a summer shower in their little Paris flat. While the rain taps a gentle rhythm on the window, Clio and Iggy Pop trade soft vocals that turn everyday objects—floral curtains, scattered books, a guitar—into treasures. They choose to stay indoors, treating the apartment like their own painted canvas or beloved poem where il pleut et ils s’aiment (it’s raining and they love each other). The outside world fades, and every raindrop becomes part of their private soundtrack.
Beneath the calm surface the song celebrates the magic of ordinary moments. Singing together, tuning a guitar, breathing in the scent of wet summer air: these small acts show that love does not need grand adventures. The rain might keep pouring, but for this couple it only amplifies their intimacy, proving that when you are with the right person, staying in can feel like the greatest journey of all.
