Paris Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Exhaustion has set in. As we sit in our apartment enjoying a Kir we will try to recreate our day for you. A very French breakfast of pastries and coffee au laits started our day and we did not stop for a moment after that. We have now mastered the Metro, a short ride took us to the Champs-Elysees (the rodeo drive of Paris). We walked the entire ...

Suzy joined me for my trip up to Paris. We took the "slow train" and enjoyed the beautiful Loire Valley. The sun peeked out intermittantly throughout the afternoon.

OUr journey ended where it started, back in Paris. This time around we got to see Versailles, L'Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, museums galore, and everything else in between.
