She…read moreactually has never been to this side of the world, and actually owning her own business in hospitality we have some grounds for comparison. First off, 32 euro for one night and they don't even provide wi-fi. Yeah you can go in their office and pay 15 cents a minute but you still can't print what you need. They do have a shuttle that takes you from the campground into Paris and drops you at the Porte Maillot Metro (you can buy return tickets at the reception for 3 euro), but the driver was off schedule and we were worried that we wouldn't make the bus back. The next morning we went into the office and check out, I also asked for directions and used my limited French appropriately even though some attendants spoke English. However when I entered the office a second time to clarify a question I had before departing the woman behind the desk turned to the man and said in French, why weren't we gone and how (*something*) these Americans are. I may not be able to speak well, but I can understand what you are saying.

The people are super nice and accommodating; like other campsites in Western Europe, they will order bakery items for pickup in the morning. The wifi is included in the price; for a single person in a tent, the place is a bit expensive but this is Paris. Oh, one thing, the walk from the RER C train station is @ 10 mins and if arriving here by RER C, look for the train with the name 'VICK', zone 4.

We went to the Jardin du Luxeumbourg on a scorching hot July day, and it was still a pleasure to…read morevisit, a beautiful park full of wonders, especially for the children. It reminded me of Rome's Villa Borghese and does in fact have Italian roots. The garden was built by a Medici, back in the 1600s. We were there for a little over an hour, my family, my brother's family, and my friend who lives in Paris. We'd agreed to meet up in the garden, and I figured out when we got there that we'd have to get more specific. We entered from opposite ends and converged at a spectacular central fountain, where dozens of children were racing toy boats using sticks that they thrust in the water. (My children wanted the sticks, and I declined to rent the boats just so they could thrash each other.) We walked around for a bit and ended up at the Ludo Jardin, a large contained playground with lovely equipment and an idyllic atmosphere. There was a small fee for entry, not ideal for a quick visit, but definitely worthwhile. Our three-year-old walked in and went straight for a sprinkler, where he spent the next half hour getting absolutely soaked. Our six-year-old did a little more exploring, though to be honest, I didn't pay close attention to what he was doing. After a while, both boys noticed ice cream for sale and asked for a treat. We indulged them and watched them slather themselves with chocolate ice cream and rainbow popsicle. When it was time to go, our three-year-old objected vigorously, insisting, "I didn't get to play!" He meant that he'd only splashed around in the sprinklers and had a popsicle, and hadn't explored the depths of the playground. I knew the feeling--I'd experienced it myself leaving the d'Orsay earlier that day, all those paintings and whole exhibit halls I'd missed. I do hope we get to come back to the Luxembourg Garden.

One of the reasons we chose the hotel for our April visit to Paris was the proximity to Le Jardin…read moredu Luxembourg -- the Luxembourg Garden. This is one of my favorite places in Paris. Besides the layout and beauty of the Garden itself, it is a wonderful way to experience the softer side of Paris. Despite April overcast and rainy weather, walking through the Park was uplifting as always. Tulips greeted us when we entered through the Gay-Lussac entrance. Once in the Park, we found more flowers and trees in bloom. Beyond Les Voiliers du Luxembourg -- an octagonal fountain for sail boats at the focal center if the Gaeden -- we walked through a canopy formed by rows of chestnut trees. It was great staying within a few blocks of Le Jardin du Luxembourg and visiting daily.
