After driving through the Provence and Loire Valley regions of France, Chris and I spent the last day of our trip in Paris. My friend, Sadia, studied in Paris last summer and recommended we stay on the north side of the city in the 'artistic' neighborhood of Canal Saint Martin in the 10th arrondisemsent.
We stayed at an AWESOME hotel, Le Citizen Hotel. Upon arrival, each guest is given an Ipad to take to your room. The hotel will text you to confirm restaurant reservations, when your cab arrives, etc. The hotel was not only clean and in a prime location, it got cool points too!
We did a whirl wind tour of the city, taking time to walk along the Seine and see sights like the Tour Eiffel and Notre Dame.
During a quick rain shower, we ducked into a cafe and had some wine and a cheese tray. :)
That night we dined at Hotel Du Nord which was a fantastic restaurant, two doors down from our hotel. Sadia had given us the recommendation and the hotel told us it was 'the place to be seen'. We got 8pm reservations and had a fantastic meal there. The vibe was very artistic and the food was top notch. What a great way to end such an awesome trip.
(and I couldn't resist doing a quick headstand in front of the tower)
