Hotel de Londres Eiffel, our charming home for the week, is in the heart of a lovely neighborhood. Champ de Mars to the left, Rue Cler to the right, and the Eiffel Tower almost always in sight made exploring easy and fun.
We arrived a day early and immediately began exploring. The neighborhood felt as familiar as the descriptions in Rick's Paris guidebook which we had read many times in anticipation of this very moment. We were off to Champ de Mars.
Chris, our guide, enlightened us as we continued our explorations.
