There is an old saying you have probably heard before, "When in Rome, do as the Romans." This simply means that when traveling abroad, you should do your best to experience the culture of the locals. Would you visit Greece and eat at McDonalds every day? Probably not! So why wouldn't you want to stay at a true Parisian hotel while seeing the sites in Paris, France?

The Royal Hotel Paris Champs-Elysees is a wonderfully authentic place to stay when visiting Paris.  Following are just a few of the many reasons for considering it:

France is a wonderful holiday destination for babies because the French culture is so family-oriented.  Restaurants often have well stocked baby stations for changing diapers. Discreet breast feeding in public does not raise eyebrows. Children and babies are an expected part of social, everyday life.  The most difficult part is getting there!  We offer the following tips for traveling by plane with an infant, and some key French phrases that might help you during your stay.

First of all, many parents wonder a) does baby need a passport, and b) does she need her own seat on the plane?  Yes, everyone traveling abroad needs a passport, even babies.

Halloween originated among the Celts in Ireland, Britain and (yes!) France as a pagan Celtic harvest festival. Although other nations continued to observe Halloween throughout the centuries, the original pagan traditions of the Brittany region faded into obscurity long ago.  Until recently, the mention of Halloween in Paris was quite rare.  Parisian children may have heard of the holiday through foreign visitors or expatriates, but for the most part, they never carved pumpkins, dressed up in ghoulish costumes or went 'trick or treating'.

This has changed.  Today, partly due to commercialism and the spread of American pop culture, the delightfully spooky holiday has seen a resurgence in French popularity. More and more cafes and bars are celebrating it American-style. Teens swarm McDonald's  (the iconic emblem of all things American) on Hallow's Eve, and Disneyland Paris is also a cool place to be come October 31st.

Because of budgetary constrains, today's economy class seating sometimes feels a little inadequate. To address this, most airlines are now offering an interesting new seating class called 'premium economy'.  Premium economy seats are one step above coach yet not quite as ritzy as business class seats.  Generally, a premium economy ticket buys you a bit more legroom and a few extra perks such as priority check-in and/or additional storage space.  The fares vary greatly.  In some cases, you pay under $65 per extra inch of wriggle-room for your toes, whereas other airlines raise the price so close to business class it leaves you tempted to make the jump.  Some airlines, such as United, require you to purchase a yearly membership which enables you to book "premium economy" seating at the time of reservation.
