J'amene mes eleves et leurs parents a Paris cet ete. Nous sommes 36 personnes qui voyagerons avec une compagnie qui s'appelle EF. On a deja eu pas mal de frustrations avec cette compagnie et on n'est meme pas encore parti!! Le probleme c'est qu'ils nous ont reserve des chambres a l'Hotel Est (49 Boulevard de Magenta pres de la gare de l'est dans le 10e arrondissment) et d'apres ce qu'on a lu dans des livres touristiques, le coin n'est pas tres sur, pas tres attirant et assez bruyant a cause des trains. Si vous avec des informations soit positives soit negatives, j'aimerais bien en etre informee car on a encore assez de temps pour insister un changement d'hotel. Merci mille fois!!

GLORIA SAID: <BR>I amene [?] my raised and their parents have Paris this summer. We are 36 people who will travel with a company which is called EF. One already had [heard] of frustrations with this company and one is not same step yet party!! [?]The problem it is that they have us reserved in the rooms at the Hotel Is (49 Boulevard of Magenta) which is close to the station [Gare d'Est?] of the east in 10th arrondissment) and according to what one reads in tourist guide books, the corner is not very attractive and rather noisy because of the trains. If you have information either positive or negative, I would like to be informed because then we would still have enough time to insist on a change of hotel. Thank you thousand times!! <BR> <BR>ELAINE REPLIED: Excuse me, I do not speak French very well, but I suggest that you click on www.paris.org, " hotels ", or www.hotel-boulevard.com They have comments on the hotels. <BR> <BR>Parles-vous Anglais,sil voul plait.Merci.

To clarify the ??? above, <BR>I'm bringing my students and their parents to Paris this summer... <BR>...We've already had frustrations with this company and we haven't even left yet!! <BR>May not be an exact translation but you get the idea.

Hi/Bonjour Gloria <BR> <BR>We do not consider the areas around Gare du Nord and Gare D'Est to be particularly nice. What is your budget -- do you have a list of hotels to choose from?

Gloria, your French was quite comprehensible to me, and I only get to use the language every 5 or so years ~~ I think that Michael was thrown in a number of his translations by the problem of not having "accent marks" available on our English-programmed computers. ("a" obviously was the "at" word and not the form of "have", for instance.) <BR>Michael, you came across as rude, and unfortunately as if you had just waded through your French dictionary (eleves is indeed students, and not "raised"). <BR>Shame. <BR> <BR>To the question, and realizing that this is being followed in another thread in English, in a year where the dollar is so strong, do you really have time to change hotels for something like 50 people? May just have to grin and deal with it.
