Any tips on driving/places to stay/things to see in france in general and paris in particular? | We dropped off in Paris last June, very easy. We stayed the night before at the airport (DO NOT use the Hyatt, go to the F1 Hotel next door). took the car to TTTransit next morning and the Air France bus into town, I would recommend not driving in Paris, been there done that before and not a pleasant experience due to LOTS of traffic and NO parking. We stayed at the Muerice which is very expensive but located across the street from the Tulleries Gardens and it was kind of our honeymoon. I can give you more hotel info for central Paris if you like.

We are staying here at the Hotel Le Regent. It comes highly recommended. I'll give you an update when I return on March 1.
