Getting Settled in Paris

It seems the French don't eat inside if it is possible to eat outside. What a lovely, civilized custom. On every fine morning, the tables in the garden were set for breakfast with placemats, napkins and silverware. There was always a lovely buffet including creamy cheese, fresh squeezed orange juice, a melange of cold cuts, and of course, croissants. Mmm! A delightful way to start an adventurous day!
The hotel garden was lovely! The birds would sing their little hearts out from first light onward. Heavenly!

Here is the view of the little garden from my window.


Here's what my room looked like - very clean and neat.



Here is my charming little hotel. La Magellan is in a nice little neighbourhood with a gorgeous park nearby. I turn left out the door and a short stroll gets me to the Metro, RER(train), bus, and shops. Turn right and walk for about 10 minutes and I arrive at the Arc de Triumph. Very nice!
