2018 - Val Paris

Paris Bridge and Castle

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Paris and visited several hotels.  My favorite was our host hotel Sofitel Le Faubourg. This property is a Chic boutique type hotel with only 147 rooms and suites with contemporary design but with look and feel of 18th century.  It is in an excellent location to major store for shopping (expensive!) and an easy to walk to Opera area and Lafeyette Galleries which is a department store for some shopping.  The US Embassy is close by and the street is guarded but no problems walking by it.


Our rooms were deluxe room category that has one double bed, 270 sq. ft., TV, CD player, minibar, safe, work desk, free Wi-Fi and Hermes toiletries.  Buffet breakfast included each morning and was very good with wide range of food to choose from (croissants were awesome).  There is a gourmet restaurant at hotel for lunch and dinner but we did not eat here for either.  There is 24 hour room service, a spa and fitness center.  The bar in the hotel had a fireplace and very Parisian style.  There are a few local café/restaurants nearby as well. 

General thoughts on Paris:
Our tour by Walks (which is Signature) of Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle (stain glass is a must see) and the Concierge was excellent.  Violet, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, personable and funny.  We all learned so much on the tour and would recommend it to anyone.  Walking tours are great way to see the sights and plan ahead!  Max on this tour is 15 and have headsets to hear the guide.


The metro is easy to use for major tourist sights, but difficult to use for smaller areas.  Uber was relatively inexpensive and much easier to get around.  A private transfer to Charles de Gaulle is the ONLY way to go.  The traffic was crazy and our driver was great.  Allow every bit of 3 hours with security tight and it does take time to get through it all.

Stop and enjoy a pastry and coffee.  Taste Paris and take in sights that are like no other!
