itinerary for Paris and NOrmandy Area.

We are doing a similar trip at the end of September. This will be our second trip to France. During our last trip, we spent 4 days in Paris. For a hotel in Paris, I highly recommend l'Hotel du Champs de Mars. https://www.hotelduchampdemars.com It is a typical small French hotel room oozing with charm. The elevator is tiny, the reception staff helpful and from our window we could we could see the Eiffel Tower. It was spectacular. For breakfast, we went to any of the cafés on the street to have a croissant, café, and orange pressée. Within a short walking distance is Rue Cler, teeming with restaurants, patisseries, cheese shops, florists, etc. On a recommendation from the hotel, we went to a small, lovely restaurant called Bistro Belhara. https://bistrotbelhara.com The food and service were both outstanding. Our waiter, Frédéric, was gracious, had a sense of humour and walked us to the door at the end of the evening. If they still serve the peach soufflé you must try it. There was a tiny window into the kitchen in the back where most people stopped by to thank the chef. It's what Paris is all about. We loved it.
