Concorde Lafayette Paris Hotel. Stunning Paris Views From 33rd Floor.

…2823, originally uploaded by garybembridge. Concorde Lafayette Hotel Paris France is massive. This hotel stands tall on the Paris skyline as, at 33 or so floors, it is of unusual height for the city better known for buildings a few stories high. It also does not match the usual beauty of Parisian buildings, looking more like an ugly 70s style concrete office block. The hotel is fairly well located as it is next to the huge Paris Conference Center…

7 Cruises To Consider For Your Return To Cruising (After the Shutdown)

…ll get to see a slice of different countries. You’ll see Spain, you’ll see France, you’ll see Italy.

So, there’s so much uncertainty and it may be worth waiting and seeing how the dust settles before you commit money that you may regret later.

Kent Seaside towns: Margate, Ramsgate & Broadstairs. Potential still to come?

…t in England. Kent is situated in the South East and across the Channel is France. The main port town in the general area is Dover, where the many ferries criss cross the channel. Increasingly, some of the cruise lines also use it as a departure port. English seaside towns overall tend to be disappointing.

However, I wouldn’t go on a CroisiEurope River Cruise again because there are many good English-speaking options. But I have booked to go on German speaking Hapag Lloyd next year to Greenland and the Canadian Arctic because it is the only itinerary that covers the places that I really want to go. I’m prepared for that. #7 Bad Reviews The…

How I Cruise Solo Cheaper, Smarter and Better

…much easier to fit in and settle. For example, I went on a barge cruise in France on CroisiEurope Deborah. There were just 15 people who all knew I was solo from the minute I boarded and they included me in everything. The same, too, on river cruises I’ve been on with 100 to 150 people.

But airline choices are limited. And I found it is costly. For example, June next year an economy flight costs from $2,600 (£2,000) from Europe, and $6,000 (£4,700) in business. From the West Coast, it’s from $1,600 return in economy up to $3,600 business. The…
