It probably never made all those 19th-century painters and writers crazy anyway.<br /><br />Judy, my friends stayed at the Hôtel du Panthéon. They liked it. The 7th floor single with a balcony big enough for a table and two chairs, and that great view of Sacré Cœur, was very nice.<br /><br />Harriett, so you heard all about it, eh?Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26353741554751451862009-09-07T07:16:58.607+02:002009-09-07T07:16:58.607+02:00Let's see.

It had something to do with pilfering plums and tomatoes from a neighbor's garden, I believe... (heh heh... no, not at all, really :))) Ken is perfectly innocent :)<br /><br />Oh, how I love the Luxembourg Gardens area!! We stayed at a hotel just across from the Blvd St Michel entrance... it was fine, but a bit touristy. I've long been interested in the <i><b>Hotel des Grands Hommes</b></i>, and the <i><b> Hotel du Pantheon</b></i>, and the <i><b>Hotel Sorbonne</b></i>, and wondered what they were really like. Did your friends like HdGH? I think that's a great area to stay in Paris.<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46555286575141438132009-09-06T16:06:23.505+02:002009-09-06T16:06:23.505+02:00Chm
