day 8 paris!

we arrive at orly ouest in about 45 minutes. baby was so tired during landing he fell asleep. the captain of the plane said it was a very nice day in paris on the contrary it was so foggy when we looked outside the window.

we took a taxi to the hotel. we are staying at the radisson sas which used to be the headquarter of louis vuitton until 2002 it became a chic hotel. they were doing some remodeling and the lobby was so dusty! i wondered if we can complain and get some discounts? how do people eat at the restaurant or bar if dust are flying around? the worst part is the fume from some sort of lacquer paint. definitely not good.

we have a porter who looks like he could be a supermodel for versace. young, tall and great looking kid. maybe this is only his side job.

hotel rooms in france are generally small. everything is so small, but our room is spacious. the bed is big ... it fits all three of us without anyone rolling off to the ground. the bathroom for once is bigger than average.

i can tell you that it isn't a baby friendly hotel, but we managed to change some configuration and have the desk be our baby changing table. and moved all the desk stuff to the mini bar.

we have wifi and free internet connection which is a plus in amenity.

our room has no view whatsoever, but at least the other room mama and papa are staying at has a view of the arc de triumph (oh very nice indeed).

we are just minutes away from the champs-elysees aka shopping heaven (at least for the ladies haa haa).
