Well, I'll be 56 this year and am heading to Paris this week for the first time without my husband.
We favor the 7th for sleeping. I know I will feel very safe there after dark if I happen to be heading "home". Everything you need is within steps, the buses and metro are convenient, and the neighborhood is chock full of nice hotels and restaurants in every price range. |
I’m a 55-year-old woman, and I stayed at the Hotel de l’Abbaye Saint-Germain when I traveled to Paris by myself last November. With the caveat that the standard rooms are very small, I would recommend the hotel highly. For more detail about why I liked the hotel, see my review on Tripadvisor (it’s the one from November 2005 headed “Lovely hotel -- if only the standard rooms weren't so small"). By booking online at www.hotel-abbaye.com, I got a rate of 195€ for a standard room.

Bree, that was my favorite hotel until it became too expensive for me. I still have my little tray from there.

This posting had a better message header than your current posting.
May I recommend that you re-post now, and mention <b>Paris</b> in the mesage header? Best wishes, Rex |
You need a hotel in Montmartre.

sort of creepy to think people are keeping track of all of one's postings.
one would think...when one posts to "France" it gets posted in "France" but hey... |
Kardon, wow, I thought I was the only one who thought it was totally creepy that people keep track of other's posts. Have a wonderful trip to Paris!

You rock! p.s. to think I'm 57 yrs old. |
just in case there really are people out there that's following this track... I just returned from three weeks in Africa, staying at five-star tented camps in Tanzania, Botswana and Zambia. What an experience! Now I know what it's like to have personal valet looking after all my needs, I'm not sure I can tolerate mediocre services elsewhere. I need to get back down to earth.

Just FYI: there is no posting to "France" here on Fodors. When you post on the Europe board, your posts will always come up in the general Europe board. The country designations are only for search purposes.

"<i>one would think...when one posts to "France" it gets posted in "France" but hey...</i>"
Maybe to help you understand how the forum works . . . There is no "France" board. Just <u>Europe</u> and all France, UK, Iceland, Italy and Croatia threads are lumped together. Don't think anyone is stalking you. When someone posts a thread w/ a less than useful title, many of us click on the posters name to see if they are newbies or not, which would help to explain a hopeless title . . . . |
I was posting the same time as tuscanlifeedit . . .
(BTW t-l-e, did you get my e-mail a couple of days ago??) |
Hopeless? Her title was 'hopeless'? Wow, again. Incurable cancer is hopeless. Going blind is hopeless. A title is hardly hopeless. Not to your liking maybe, but not hopeless....
|
I was merely explaining why Rex posted as he did. His suggestion seemed to bother kardon (and you too for some reason) but he was just trying to help.
|
hey..I'm not trying to start a WW III (or whatever the number is by now). So, let's not go there. I appreciate Rex and his helpfulness...but I still find it amusing. Also, other posting is working quite effectively--to the point of giving me too many more optons. :)
In my real life, I may be 57 yrs old (soon to be 58) but I am a Chief Information Officer so I do know how computers work--and I know the peculiarities of Fodors list. It's not optimal but it works. However, it doesn't stop me from having opinions (and hope Fodors will upgrade one day). Cheers everyone. I'll need to change my user name the nex ttime. |
While the "other" posting may be working for <i><b>you</b></i>I... it's effectively like "cutting in line" to everyone else who opens it, and has no onterest, nor expertise to offer on the three hotels you're asking about.
Vague message headers are partly about not serving your own information needs well... and partly about being inconsiderate to everyone else. When a suggestion to re-post is made, politely... then that's what I think you should do. |
