Hotel D'Aubusson questions
Ok, I decided on the Hotel D'Aubusson. Can anyone tell me what if anything I need for computer, electrical and phone connections there?<BR> Also, any tips on the immediate neighborhood would be appreciated, for instance restaurants, shops, sites. I am traveling with a 12 year old, so anything cool for the preteen crowd would be particularly appreciated.<BR>Thanks, John

Hi John,<BR><BR>I was in Paris with my 13-year-old daughter in April, stayed not too far from the D'Aubusson (where an acquaintance recently stayed, said it was fabulous). I am sending to the top my trip report for some ideas of what you and your child (boy or girl?) might enjoy.

John<BR>The d'Aubusson rooms have hair dryers if that is an issue for you, it's one less thing to pack if you normally want one.<BR>Can't help you with computer or phone connections, but maybe these will<BR>http://kropla.com/electric.htm has clicks for plugs, converters and modems<BR><BR>Here is a website with pictures of all the various plug configurations plus other info on electricity<BR>http://www.escapeartist.com/global/photos.html<BR>

Although I beleive the D'Aubbuson website said the rooms had American plugs, they did NOT, unless you count a "for shavers only" plug in the bathroom (would not accept a safety plug - I tried it). The staff is very helpful, why don't you e-mail them your question, perhaps they have facilities elsewhere in the hotel.<BR><BR>Fish-La Boissonerie is nearby and good. See Patricia Wells website. Avoid Alcazar, also nearby. Turn left out of the hotel on Rue Dauphine and then right on Rue de Buci. The pastry shops on your right are to die for.

John--Hotel Millesime, D'Aubusson's sister property had a laptop available for guest use in the lobby, so I suggest that you check with D'Aubusson to see if it has the same amenity if you really need to use a computer. Can't help with preteen suggestions, however haven't a clue.
