Of course the metro connection means you can get anywhere in the city, so be sure to take in the Eiffel Tower and get yourself over to the Arc de Triomphe where the Paris's 12 avenues connect. Restaurants are everywhere in this city and if you step out of the hotel you'll soon bump into some decent places to eat, or just ask the staff and they'll be more than happy to give you a few pointers.

Eiffel Tower – This is the monument to beat all monuments in France and will undoubtedly figure somewhere in your plans. Just because you can see it from the rooms in the hotel it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t actually head over there as it’s well worth seeing up close!
