“Our table of four was front and center of the boat, so we had a perfect view of all the sights. The captain perfectly timed the cruise to be next to Eiffel Tower at 9pm for the hourly twinkle light show, which is best seen from the top side observation deck.

The terrific concierge then processed my tax refund paperwork. I stayed there for nearly an hour and would have stayed longer if I didn't have back to back appointments. Was also given a Galeries Lafayette bag which doesn't seem to fit the style of the store. Plain and empty! Would have been nice if it was filled with a few samples of anything!”
