Renaissance Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Modern, stylish and great location

Renaissance Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Modern, stylish and great location

The Renaissance Arc De Triomphe opened in May 2009. It is in a fabulous location near (as the name says!) to the Arc De Triomphe, and so is very central and accessible to all the central attarctions. It is also very stylish and impressive from a decor point of view. Most of the hotel as a real “wow” factor. The lobby is bold and dramatic. The bar just off the lobby very trendy, and the restaurant is as well. The rooms are large for Paris, with st…

Hotel du Louvre Paris France. A Luxury Paris Hotel With Style.

  Hotel du Louvre Paris impressive entrance The Hotel Du Louvre is a Paris Hotel which, as the name suggests, is next to the famous Paris museum where artworks like the Mona Lisa are housed. It is a luxury hotel and one of the most Paris like and recommended hotels to stay, in my view. You get a great feel of being in Paris, and the heritage. Also every room is different and so not like staying in a chain hotel like Hilton, Sheraton etc. I have b…

Travel to French Riviera In Winter: Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Antibes

…is Nice. The glamorous holiday resort of Nice is situated in the south of France on the Cote d’Azur, on the French Riviera. It’s situated between the ultra‑rich playground of Monaco and Cannes, which is the city synonymous with movies and movie stars.

The minute you land, you…

Differences Between A European River Cruise and A Barge Cruise

…l. CroisiEurope covers French Canals – Alsace, Burgundy, Champagne, Ile de France, Upper Loire and Provence. The one we did was more of a barge river cruise. Less distance The barges on canals travel much less distance. So, whilst on a river cruise, you could go through four or five countries and travel hundreds of miles, a barge is very different. It will only travel around 50 to 70 miles per week. For example, we did about 76 miles on our trip o…

…xtricably linked to the ocean, and has played a key part on the defence of France against invasion for centuries. It is also where the Titanic started its maiden journey that ended so tragically. More recently it was also where France’s nuclear submarines were built, and is home to the very first one (The Redoubtable) that is now open for visitors to explore. It is definitely something that anyone with a passion for the sea and things nautical sho…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…
