I apologize for three blog entries in one day, but I've got big news.
I'm very pleased to announce that we have a home in Paris!
We'll be staying at Le Regent Hotel, a small (25 rooms) boutique hotel on the Left Bank in the St. Germain de Pres district.
Here's the link to their website. Go ahead, take a peek. I'll wait for you:
We're in a prime location in the heart of Paris. Our hotel is a 10 minute walk or less to Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Pont Neuf and many of the other sites.
The rooms are nice but reportedly small (well, one couple will have a big room) and nobody has to share a bathroom. I didn't spring for the continental breakfast since that was another 14 Euros per person per day, and it struck me that $726 at today's exchange rate should buy us a whole lot more than croissants and coffee. So if you want the hotel breakie, you're on your own.
That's all for today, I promise. The only piece of the puzzle still missing are the flight arrangements and we should have that figured out before the end of August.

It looks fabulous!! Their web site has a nice map showing their location and its proximity to Notre Dame, etc.
I love, love, love boutique hotels!
Don't get too excited by the term "boutique hotel". It comes very highly recommended, but it's only a 3 star hotel. The French (and Europeans in general) have a very standardized and rigorous rating system for their hotels. Three stars is pretty good but it won't be the Ritz.
Teri and I have stayed in several two and even one star hotels in France and Italy that were plenty good enough.
Mostly it will be acceptable lodgings in a fantastic location.
