But how about other HI locations ?

I would love to hear your opinions, especially those who stayed there after the renovation.

Also, our flight on departure day is at 1pm ish from CDG, if we take the Rossybus from Opera at 9:30am, is it enough time to meet the International flights check-in time ?

Thanks a lot for inputs.

Hi
I am not sure when you are travelling but at the moment Paris is not really the best place to visit. There have been numerous protests, which have turned very violent. I checked the USA State department website but its not saying anything about it.

Here is a link to the UK Gov website:

Also some information on what is going on:

We are off to France on Thursday (going by ferry). 4 nights are in the Holiday Inn Resort and then we were going to Paris but we are now going to avoid the City. No point in taking risks. The TV footage has certainly raised issues.

Anyway, hope I am not scaring you too much but at least someone told you. I cant believe that the US State department has not mentioned it on tehir website.

regards
