From Belgium to a hotel in Paris, France


Planning to hotel in Paris? If not, please consider adding it to your lists and GO. Paris is a fantastic city, a historic treasure and the center of art, literature, food and fashion. It is sophisticated in 'technician' means the 'capital of the cosmopolitan. My recent trip to hôtels Paris was enlightening, as one would expect the City of Light. Being able to 'work' of this enchanting city is enhanced by a few things to know before you go.

For those of us who recall the De Gaulle Days? France and the pro and anti-American mentality, you will be pleasantly surprised. The people in hotel in Parijs were warm, open and friendly and very helpful. My first experience many years ago was the opposite and I talked a marginal French. The margins were significantly reduced in time, but I studied grammar and phrases and tried to talk. And the people responded positively.

Lucky for me I was with two friends who live there 3 months a year, and I learned a lot from them. Sherris Goodwin is the executive director of San Francisco's Hospitality Institute, and Marc Kauffman is a wine importer and connoisseur, and the restaurant Radar? expert.



Hôtel Paris is distributed unequally proportioned in twenty districts (arrondissements) in the form of a slag. The largest, the 15th, only to nearly 10% of the total area. The smallest, the 2nd, is barely 1% of Paris area. The city is 30 meters above sea level. The highest point in hôtel à Paris is located in the Rue du Télégraphe (20th district) to 148 meters.

Hotel Paris has a temperate climate with mild winters and relatively Clement summers. The coldest winter recorded in 1953-1954, when the thermometer dropped to -15 ° C and the warmest recorded temperature reached 38 ° C during the heatwave in 2003. These temperatures are exceptional. Average temperatures in fact vary between 5 ° C in winter and 20 ° C in summer. July is the warmest month of the year and January the coldest. Spring, from March to May is the driest season. Other seasons have their fair share of rain. Overall, it's always a little warmer in Paris hotel than in the suburbs. The urbanization of the capital has led to significant differences in temperature between the center and the outskirts, regularly recording one or two degrees less.
