 We are only just getting used to the fact that in France you rarely if ever get offered a facecloth in the bathroom Facecloths are provided in most hotels around the world Finally went out and bought one to solve the problem Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the California Hotel 
 This was the first we d stayed in Paris to close to the main attractions and we loved being able to walk to many of the sites we wanted to see We had breakfast on the Champs lys es each morning walked to the Grand Palace for the Rodin exhibition walked to the Tuileries and the Louvre etc You see so many little extra slices of Parisian life this way We asked for a quiet room and were rewarded by one the back of the building looking out onto greenery The room was compact though very comfortable
