Valentine’s Day Indulgence at L’Hotel

I love L'Hotel in Saint Germain des Pres. I love its rich colors, dim lighting, and its old-world charm meets modern elegance feel.

Just having a cocktail in the small bar nestled amongst the bookcases is an experience to be had. So, when I think of a romantic Valentine's treat, I think of L'Hotel.

iPhone Paris Metro App

If you are like me and often find yourself stuck in the metro because of some unexplained "technical" difficulties, have no fear! The new iPhone Metro Paris app is here! The iPhone Metro Paris app is too cool. With the Paris Metro app you get real-time alerts telling you if a line is not functioning or is running late (anyone taking RER A would appreciate this daily). This app also allows you to locate the nearest Metro station, providing you walking distance and is updated live as you walk.
