Advantages: Grand example of church history and architecture Disadvantages: none
...NotreDame Cathedral is a Parisian Catholic church which welcomes parishioners from all over the world, for worship, as well as travellers who come to appreciate over 700 years of divinity and fine architecture.
I've been past it on several visits but this year fate called me in on a historic day, one remembered in sadness: the day the Pope John Paul II died. My sister and I walked around this massive, beautiful interior and we slowly realised the priest was praying sadly, amid holy incense and across the floor a growing 'pond' of candles around a photograph of the ailing Pope .
We thought he had died but other visitors quietly advised us that he was probably in his last hours. That evening he died and the next evening we went back to NotreDame and took part in his special Mass, attended by the French Prime Minister...

Advantages: Friendly staff Disadvantages: Small car park
...on the town.
The staff were excellent throughout the hotel; polite, friendly, helpful, attentive and all speaking excellent English. After our first night, when we didn't get back to the hotel until 4 a.m. the cleaners waited until after midday before phoning us to enquire very nicely whether our room required their attention or not. They were not at all put out when we requested that they wait until after 2 o'clock in order that we have more time to recover.

Location wise, the hotel was well situated, five minutes walk from the town centre and right next door to the railway station. On the station was a very good grocery store selling a range of products and thus rendering the mini...

Advantages: Stunning Views, Free Entry To Inside of Cathedral Disadvantages: Narrow Passageways, Poorly Lit inside (adds to ambience though!)
...Located in the very heart of Paris and on the Cité island in the middle of the river Seine, NotreDame cathedral represents the apitome of gothic design. Although construction began at around 1160, it wasn't until 90 years later that the two towers on the west side were erected and another 550 years when the grand spire was added. The towers were to have had spires of their own, but these were never completed. In 1804, it was at the cathedral that Napoleon was crowned as Emperor of France.
The 386 steps that take you to 69 meters (226 feet) from street level are well worth the climb, as you are rewarded with stunning views of central paris and beyond and the Gargoyles and statues that are built on the roof and facade just cannot be appreciated from ground level.
Inside the cathedral the three stain-glassed rose windows are nearly...

I’ve just returned from a holiday in Nice, where there’s approximately 300 days of sunshine a year, there are French women sunbathing topless on the beach, and you can dunk your baguette in your coffee and just sit back and watch the world go by. I went more
