 The hotel is very close to the French President s residence and hence heavily guarded which is a bonus point for security but access by taxi may be inconvenient as they require permission to enter the lane to the front of the hotel 
 The initial rooms allocated to us were a bit small even to fit our luggage The front desk suggested we take a full suite with 2 bedrooms and a large sitting room but at a hefty additional cost We decided since we were on family holidays and that we can all be at the same suite cost ceases to become a part of the equation Checked out with an oversized bill but well worth the family fun times beauty and food of Paris plus the nice Spring weather
