flight to Paris and La Grande Arche

We flew from Miami to Paris overnight on AirFrance, leaving 5/24 at 7:35pm and arriving 5/25 at 10:35 am

It was a direct flight, they served dinner and breakfast, there were screens with movies and games on the back of each seat, we all slept some and everyone did well! 

We took an uber from the airport to the Renaissance Paris la Defense hotel which is located in the business district area of Paris and right next to La Grande Arche!

We showered and changed and went out to walk around (the area had a fountain/pool, grassy area, shopping and lots of statues) and eat dinner at a restaurant called Hippopotamus.

Eurostar to Paris and apartment

5/31

We checked out of our apartment in London, took an uber to the train station and rode the Eurostar to Paris.

Our apartment in Paris was also a 2 bedroom, 1 bath with a sofa bed in the living room but seemed to give us more space, it was on the 6th floor with a little elevator, was a street away from the Champs Elysees and Arch de Trimphe, and had a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.
