The hub
and I moved from the hotel to an apartment on Wednesday. We decided to try a new part of town since we were
looking for very inexpensive digs near the terminus of the Tour de France on
Sunday. Although I always thought
of the Champs Elysee and
surrounding area as very commercial, we settled on a small studio on rue
Colisee, directly off the Champs.
Well, surprise, we love it!
Franklin Roosevelt has wonderful stores, patisseries and restaurants and
the Metro is at the intersection of our street and the Champs. (Tonight was the scheduled premier of
The Dark Knight at the same intersection but, due to the tragedy in Colorado,
it was cancelled. )

The one
thing that would keep us from recommending this area is that the metro
connections are not great. Only two lines run from our stop, which means lots
of changing to get anywhere and a masters in puzzle-solving to do it without
accessing the dreaded Chatalet stop!
