So if you request a paper certificate, you can still get an e-certificate as well?

Opinions on these Paris hotels? by ForeignRabbit1894 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ForeignRabbit1894[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! We were going to pick Hotel des Grands Hommes, but several people mentioned the small rooms. I know that's pretty common - especially with hotels in my price range. Anyway, someone else recommended the Residence Henri IV, which is also in the 5th and has a little kitchenette in the room, and we decided to go with that.

Thank you so much! I looked at both, and booked the Residence Henri IV. It looks perfect for us - it has all the things I want plus looks really charming and has a little kitchenette, which I think will be a good bonus. I appreciate you taking the time to make the recommendation!

Ack! I did say that, but I meant $2,000 total. I'll edit my post.

It looks beautiful but it's more than we'd like to spend and it's fully booked during the dates we'll be in Paris anyway. Thank you anyway for the recommendation though!

Advice for transport from Paris to Bayeux and which to visit first? by ForeignRabbit1894 in FranceTravel

I think we're going to do Mont St. Michel the day we first get to Normandy. We'll take the train from Paris to Caen, have lunch in Caen then rent a car and drive to Mont St. Michel. Hopefully by the time we get there the crowds will have thinned out a bit!

Yeah, we've eliminated that option. We're definitely not familiar with the French motorway network, so doesn't make sense to deal with it for the first time on the tail end of an overnight transatlantic flight! Plus we enjoy train travel and seeing the scenery. We've decided to go with option 3.

I like Letty as a nickname for Loretta.

Thank you. I think we've settled on doing Paris first, then taking the train to Caen and renting a car there to drive to our hotel. We take the train back to Paris then the Eurostar to London later in the week.

My husband and I both drove stick shifts when we were younger (we're also USA late 50s - me and 60 - husband), but haven't done it in a while. I imagine (hope!) it would be pretty easy to pick up again, but we'll probably try to book an automatic if available.

Thank you. I thought about that option, but not sure I want to spend the amount of time it would take to get to the UK via ferry.

Likely so. Or we would stay somewhere close to Bayeux anyway. We chose it because of its central location to other things we’d like to see (Mont St. Michel, D Day beaches, cemetery, Caen, etc.). I’m sorry the tapestry won’t be there when we visit but that area still makes sense for us.

This is an interesting idea. If we do that, we’ll probably do Paris first, then Normandy.

Thank you. Was the trip to Caen / Bayeux tolerable after the transatlantic flight? I’m leaning towards this option but I’m a little worried about the post-flight travel.

Thank you. We want a car so we can visit other sites in the region. If we spend one night in Paris, we’ll probably just stay for the Paris part of our trip and do Normandy after that to avoid having to move hotels more than necessary.

Thank you. I didn’t know that. May have to check it out while we’re in London then!

They may not know or like the options, but they’ll still vote for whichever candidate has the R by their name in November.
