On our journey through France and Italy, we had a 2 day, one night stop in Paris. Having grown up there, I wanted a highly essential experience. The location was absolutely unbeatable, as it allowed up to absorb heavy doses of Paris walking without any afore thought. Great meal at our favorite restaurant , L'Entrecôte Porte-Maillot, and a 10 minute stroll back to the Splendid Etoile. The view from the room, of the Arc de Triumphe was inspiring morning, noon and, especially, at night.. On top of that, the staff was great friendly and helpful, the room very clean and nicely appointed. Add the fact that the Air France shuttle from the air port stops across the street and it was a perfect; convenient, comfortable and memorable experience. We'll be back as soon as we can and stay longer!
