For a trip like this, we would suggest the following accommodations:
- Victoria Palace - From the moment you walk in, only beauty, luxury and impeccable customer service surround you. The food, sleeping accommodations and ambiance is well worth every Euro spent!
- Hotel de l'Abbaye - Here you can choose from the elegant class or deluxe rooms, or enjoy a junior suite or duplex. Every room has unique decor and personal atmosphere.
- Hotel le Notre Dame - This is the creation of fashion designer Christian Lacroix, boasts amazing decoration that you won't see anywhere else and the view of the Cathedral is like in a dream.
Besides the great restaurants within these hotels, you may venture outside for more good French cuisine:
- Café de Flore (Brunch in style) - Located on Boulevard St Germain and an ideal place for Sunday brunch. All of the great writers and artists of the 20th century came to hang out here.
- Les Deux Magots - Just a block over where all the tourists flock...Parisians prefer Café de Flore.
- Entrecote - Also on St Germain and only serve salad, steak, and fries...BUT THEY ARE GOOD!)
- Brasserie Lipp - across from Café de Flore with traditional French bistro food; has an older French crowd where you see older men with their mistresses and older women with their lovers...definitely worth a visit.
- Dinner at Lasserre - *(gastronomic experience on the right bank)* The bill will be pricey but I guarantee a memorable experience with great food! (Space is limited!)
Besides Claude Monet’s exhibit, a Paris show is a must! To complete your stay, the Lido which is dinner and a show is worth your time; however, many of our Parisian friends find the Moulin Rouge more "typical" -- just not too crazy about the area.
This is only one example of the excursions available on your next trip to France. Whether you’re interested in a themed-cruise or just want to visit a specific region, the trip of a lifetime begins when you contact France Cruises.
