Hi. <BR>First of all I'd like some pros and cons on visiting Paris in mid-March. <BR>We want to stay in the Marais area or not far away. Therefore, do anyone have experiences/suggestions on hotels in that area? Especially I'd love comments on: <BR>- le Caron de Beaumarchais <BR>- hotel de Jeu de Paume <BR>- Brettonnerie <BR>- axial Beabourg <BR>- Pavillon de la Reine <BR> <BR>Bjorn, Oslo <BR>

I had some very good friends stay at the Pavillon de la Reine last week, they loved it!

Bjorn: If I wanted to stay in the Marais, I would definitely choose the Pavillon de la Reine. It's the sister hotel of the Relais Christine in the 6th at which I stayed some time ago. <BR>I hope you can get in. <BR>Bonne chance!

Thank you, Wendy and Ursula. <BR>But what about weather in Paris in March? <BR>b

Bjorn: If we knew that! <BR>I was there in May and it was just perfect. Now, Central Europe is coldish and rainy. Not really the norm for August! You'll agree. <BR>I'll be going back to Paris end of the year. I do not really care about the weather, although it might be nice if it did not rain like last year end of December. But you might be lucky, March *can* be dry and sunny, but don't expect heat waves. I would avoid the Easter weekend (end of March 2002). <BR>Paris is great any time! Enjoy.
