trip to paris with college student?

<p>We stayed at the Hotel Duquesne - it is walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and also the Louvre. Very near a lovely street with all sorts of vendors and restaurants, whose name escapes me at the moment. Many cafes around to eat in. The Metro was easy to use to get to Notre Dame etc. </p>

<p>We went to the Champs Elysee one day but honestly, it is so commercial now. My D kept saying that all these stores (H&M, Sephora, Nike, Izod, LV) are in our mall! It is definitely worth a look, but I don’t think I could spend more than an afternoon there. </p>

<p>I prefer wandering the side streets and trying new stores and cafes.</p>

<p>Do watch Midnight in Paris to get inspired!</p>
