Hotel la Louisiane is an amazing home base from which, and in which, to explore the sights and sounds of Paris. The staff is great and the hotel is surrounded by lively cafes, amazing shops and a carrefour right across the street. This block of rue de Seine is literally spilling over with all the ingredients to put together a full-course picnic and head out to les Jardins de Luxumbourg. When I return to Paris, I have every intention of staying at Hotel La Louisiane. Merci beaucoup Xavier and the entire staff at La Louisiane!
