It looks gorgeous Virginia ... I have an e-mail friend who stays there when she's in Paris because of its fabulous location. I tried to book for part of my last visit but alas there was no room for me at Jeanne d'arc ... maybe next time.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Wow. The bat cave must be below.
WOW!! totally unique!
Oh my! It looks a bit scary. It is a very interesting and unusual mirror. I wonder if we would need armor to sleep here at night! Ha :)
First time I see such a mirror! Gaudi style?..Very impressive anyway!
What a find! I would love to know the story behind this unusual mirror. With the mosaics it must weigh a ton. Love the pumpkin-colored walls!
Surely there is a story that goes with this mirror?!
Hotels are nice, but you can't beat staying in an apartment!
Complete with electric candlelights! How did they ever get that thing up on the wall??
Wow! It's unique. :) And it looks quite heavy from this distance away. I'd love to hear its story too!
I agree with Malyss, very Gaudi... with the fleur de lis of course.

I would feel like a damsel of the castle in this hotel :-)
Sensational mirror Virginia, i confess I've never seen anything close to this, it certainly is a statement piece!!
