This Sunday's NY Times has an article on the Hidden Gardens of Paris, including the Jardin Catherine-Labour, location of the scandalous topless French Randy Petersen sighting.

I've been slow to recover from the trip, but I just posted my openskies photos. This is not, as they say, a photo gallery--everyone else has covered the ground better, but I don't want to cheat anybody out of my poorly-lit masterpieces.
I'll post to this thread again when I finally put a report together. It was a pleasure to meet all of you.

Welcome to FlyerTalk tsue!
:-::-: Congratulations! :-::-:
Maybe he waited to read it until it was complete? gba had negative comments in his report, but it was mentioned.
I love looking at all the photos and I'm glad you included yours! I had little time this week for trip reporting, but plan on writing my own this weekend.

Here is some bad news for those who stayed at the Hilton Paris, otherwise now known as the infamous Hilton Four.
It appears as though we stayed at this property just in time...

Ouch. A real loss to Hilton. Thanks for the post on this. We had a great time at that lounge!

Oh no... Does that makes us Hilton 4 even more special?
A question to the Hilton 4. I used 40k points like you to get into Paris Hilton
I just checked my HHonors balance and saw that I got 2,768 base points for the stay (as well as the usual 50% bonus and the VIP bonus). Did you get that too?

Maybe even infamous or notorious!
I was told the way they set mine up that points would post, but they would reverse them later. I got 10,275 base (as well as the other usual bonuses). I guess that means they had to cough up a bit more than $1,000 for my room at the hotel. Wow!
