Hotel We stayed at the France Louvre, 40 Rue Rivoli. Great location just 1 1/2 blocks to Isle de la Cite, Notre Dame, Place de Vosges. Metro stop: Hotel de Ville one block away. Bus stop directly in front of hotel. Cafe's around corner, ATM one block. |
The bad news was... Took the Metro to Versailles. I was 7 chemotherapies into a total of 8, so had limited energy. Knew entrance H had wheelchairs. We had left our passports in our hotel safe and they wouldn't give us a wheelchair without it - like we would drag it on the Metro with us or something. So thought we'd rent bikes and at least see the gardens; same story. Totally disgusted. Lesson learned. Lines at Eiffel Tower too much for me to wait in; same at Notre Dame. |
The good news was... The segway tour of Paris - I got to cover a lot of territory without walking. The Metro was great, very convenient and you can have the electronic ticket machines in a choice of languages. |
