Hotel Villa Van Gogh, Paris

Mr Van Gogh I presume?

Advantages: Suberb acting, dynamic direction, original writing, excellent cinematography and very enjoyable.
Disadvantages: None

"Van Gogh" DVD directed by Maurice Pialat. Production year 1991. Classification 15 years and over. I love films from other countries and I enjoyed this one very much. It is a dramatization of Vincent Van Gogh's life, the Post Impressionist painter. It is not an attempt to depict the whole of his life but rather a part of it. There are other Van Gogh films out there and this one joins them as another interpretation that has it's own distinct flavour and and yet shares the similar merits of valuing this great artist. Van Gogh is played by actor Jacques Dutronc and his performance is a good and I thought a non stereo-typical Van Gogh. The only problem with that is if you have as I do a strong idea of what Vincent Van Gogh might be like you may feel at times in the film that that he's not playing him correctly. But I felt that ...

Review of Van Gogh (DVD)

Oh La La debmercury stays in Hotel Bellevue Paris

Advantages: Excellent location and good value for money
Disadvantages: Not suitable for disabled people

The Hotel The Bellevue hotel is a three star hotel and has 36 rooms, which are all nicely decorated in either burgundy or blue tones. It is a four storey building with lots of parisian style. The hotel is a small independantly run hotel which is in a fantastic location 19 Rue d' orsel, 7518 Paris which is at the foot of the Sacre Coeur church in Montmartre. I had pre-booked a taxi online when I booked this break. Taxi was from the Charles de Gaulle airport and when we arrived the Bellevue Hotel was lit up outside and looked very warm and welcoming. The hotel has a small reception desk which is open twenty four hours and the reception staff are very friendly and helpful. At the side of the reception desk there is a large rack with lots of tourist information leaflets on where to go and places of interest ...

Review of Bellevue Hotel, Paris

The Organic Hotel? Hotel Gabriel- Paris

Advantages: Great rooms, great hotel!
Disadvantages: Expensive to eat in hotel

I recently spent three nights in Paris and booked the hotel through the Euro star website along with my train ticket. In total the hotel cost me around £150 for the three nights for a double room. When I got there I asked if we could change to a twin room and we paid 45 Euros more to do this for the three nights, so the total I paid was around £195. I think this is a very reasonable price for a hotel in Paris, especially because this one was lovely. Firstly, it is located within the Marais area of Paris, which is very nearby the Picasso museum. It is a walk able distance down to the river and to the Louvre etc, however there is a metro station minutes away; Republic. From Republic you can catch the majority of the different metro lines, or you can catch it to a station which will allow you to connect to the line you need. The hotel ...
