... more
of Paris fashion district, the Castille Paris hotel is located in the rue Cambon, a street famous for having housed the couturier Chanel since 1910. This former 18th century private residence has kept its original spirit through a successful blend of renovations, offering intimate and elegant interiors, all enhanced by original work of art from the 18th and 19th centuries. The 86 rooms and 21 Duplex, most of them overlooking the patio, offer a variety of ambiances as the traditional Venetian inspired style or the more contemporary chic atmosphere. The hotel restaurant, Il Cortile, focuses on authentic Italian cuisine and opens onto a Florentine style patio, which features a striking wall-size trompe-loeil mural and an impressive fountain. Il Cortile and its charming terrace are a delightful haven from the hubbub of the city. The lounge bar, LAssaggio, is the ideal place to enjoy an after work drink in a cozy and chic atmosphere.
You will find this elegant hotel nestled in the heart of the very exclusive 1st arrondissement, amongst the most famous haute couture houses. The hotel's design was inspired by the glamour of authentic Parisian residences.
Advantages: Lots to see and do, the metro, Disadvantages: Eating out can be expensive, everyone else is there too (everyone loves Paris)
...A short summary
This trip report will focus on the trip that my wife Nikki and I took to Paris in the period from April 8th - 15th 2006. Please get in touch with me on gardkarlsen@hotmail.com if you have any questions or comments. You can also see the trip report with pictures and links on my homepage gardkarlsen.com .

Prelude
I went to Paris for the first time in 1994 and it was my first visit to a major European city. I was completely blown away but the monuments, buildings, bridges, the history etc. In 1999 my wife Nikki and I went there together as our first get away after...

...I was born in Paris 20 years ago and I have always lived there since then. Consequently I decided to write several opinions about one of the subjects I know the best: Paris.
For my first opinion of this set I will talk about Paris in general. I will try to make an opinion as exhaustive as possible. But I will talk more about some places I usually go to instead of talking of well-known places that are described in every tour guide.
First let’s begin with a few words to present Paris historically and geographically.
Paris has been found at the intersection of two rivers the Seine and the Bievre this place was covered with wood and bogs.
The first signs of living have been dated of 1000 BC on islands but Paris actually developed with the Roman invasion. The banks of the seine were then fitted out but the right bank was full...

...I have now visited Paris twice as a tourist, both in the February half term, visiting many of the city's attractions. I feel it would be helpful for people visiting Paris to have a guide of practicalities regarding their stay.
TRANSPORT
**********
If you live close to London, by far the easiest method of travel to Paris is by the Eurostar. Direct from Waterloo, it travels in 2 hours to the centre of Paris, to the Gare du Nord station.
It may be pricey, but it is cheaper than flying, and a lot faster than driving and having to get a ferry.
However, for the sake of convenience, if you live a long way from London, it may be faster to fly, although I have heard that an extension is being built so that it is possible to join the Eurostar at York (this may just be a rumour though).
It can sometimes be cheaper to get tickets...
