As a Christmas & Anniversary gift to each other, my wife and I are returning to Paris for the period Dec 21 through Dec 27, staying at the Hotel Duminy Vendome, 3 rue du Mont Thabor. We are particularly interested in what special events/places to visit to experience the exceptional "Extras" in the City of Lights. Do any readers know of a moderate restuarant that has Christmas dinners? Any experiences with the Hotel Duminy Vendome? Any suggestions/recommendations? Merci.

Hi, Jerry. My husband and I will be in Paris during the same dates, and I have the same questions! I've never "topped" before, but here goes...

Ok Paris experts, any help here? Did see the hotel at http://www.hotelboulevard.com/ <BR>There were some reviews there.

Thanks, metoo...your hotelboulevard.com lead was very helpful. <BR> <BR>M.E., please e-mail us...we would like to share what we know and have learned about Paris and our upcoming trip.

Jerry, <BR> <BR>I know I steered you over here from Frommer's but you might want to check back there as you did get a hit on your question. Looked to be some good feedback on restaurants. Good luck!
