If you’ve been here you know that feeling you get when you arrive in Paris. It just can’t be beat or replicated and it happens every time you arrive. Paris is life.
We arrived at Gare de Lyon after a quick two hour trip on a jam-packed TGV complete with screaming children and over-perfumed grand-mères. A simple taxi ride later and we were at our home-away-from-home, the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme.
We were greeted by our lovely guest services manager Cecile (she’s pregnant!). Our suite wasn’t quite ready, so we dropped our bags and headed out.
First order of business was getting a wallet. My fake Prada wallet was real falling apart so I needed something fast. Fortunately Galeries Lafayette is just down the street from our hotel and so we stopped in and navigated the madness that is GL at the holidays.
Of course it was beautifully decorated and I found a great wallet for €39! Next stop Palais Garnier to close a loop we left undone when we were last here.
