Hotels in Paris

The 'Hotel of the Three Chicks' is a lovely property due south of Place Pigalle. It has 40 rooms, half of which are small studios with their own cooking facilities. There's air-con throughout and one room has wheelchair access.
This place reeks of class and style; OK, so we're suckers for classical music and that's what greets you in the lobby on arrival. Take the steel-coloured, almost artistically designed lift up to the guestrooms and be soothed by the peach and flash colour scheme of the halls and the restful views over Paris (especially the panoramic ones from the 5th and 6th floor) or down onto the back patio. The patio is a great spot in the warmer months for breakfast or a drink. The vaulted breakfast room in the cellar may be devoid of light but it is so warm and inviting that this potential shortcoming is instantly forgotten.http://media.lonelyplanet.com/hotels/Direct/27/72/8/135811_Hotel-Residence-des-3-Poussins_2.jpg

Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel)

Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and likely the most recognizable landmark of the city. It was built by Gustave Eiffel for the World Exhibition of 1889 and it was never meant to be a permanent addition to the city's skyline. Initially the artists and writers of Paris expressed their strong disapproval in regards to the tower but later generations commended it. The figures are impressive (like the fact that it weights 7000 tons) but forget about them and try to enjoy the sight (you'll forget the numbers soon but you'll always remember the tower's profile on the Paris sky). Everyone wants to visit this landmark so expect the lines to be long (or arrive there early).
