: In a city where basic accommodations cost a king’s ransom, and many hotels take their guests for granted, we found the hotel refreshing and a good value. It is in a fabulous location in the prestigious eighth arrondisement. We were pleased by the quiet room and large bathroom (including a whirlpool bathtub and separate shower). The high speed connectivity was particularly welcome. We also prized the on-sight fitness center and spa including an inviting swimming pool. There were two well rated restaurants an elevator’s ride away, and some of the better room service food we have had in a while.

We liked La Trémoille’s ideal location in the coveted eighth arrondisement just off the popular and ritzy Champs Elysees shopping district.We appreciated the relaxed and quiet atmosphere, a contrast to the hustle and bustle at larger properties. We found the staff friendly and attentive, from the doorman to the concierge.

Flora Danica Copenhagueoffereda combination of fresh seafood worthy of fine sushi, served in classic French style withasubtle Danish influence. In addition to well prepared seafood, we were pleasantly surprised by the efficient service, fair prices and wonderful view of the Champs Elysees. With the trees decorated and the crowds out strolling and shopping for the holidays,Copenhague’slocation was stunning. We foresee continued success for this French restaurant with a Danish flair with an attentive and experienced team.

As Monet lovers, this is one of the museums we enjoy visiting whenever we get a chance. Located in a house in a quiet patrician neighborhood, we think it has the perfect size for its collection. Visiting the entire museum is manageable in a half a day or less, even for first time visitors. We enjoy viewing our old favorites like the famous Soleil Levant and water lilies; and discovering temporary exhibits.

I much prefer the classic beauty of the Opera Garnier to the cold impersonal ambiance of the Opera Bastille. Still, our visit to the Opera Bastille for a performance of Johan Strauss “Die Fledermaus” was pleasant.

This fifteen room boutique hotel in the desirable seventh arrondisement of Paris was a rare find. In a touristy city with limited worthwhile small hotel options this new property stood out for its location, quiet small rooms with elegant upscale furnishings and amenities, and two dining venues onsite.
