I'm staying at the Mercure in the Opera district (9th arrondisement). Since I only have two nights (spending four more nights in Reims), I want to be in the prime shopping area. But I'll be there April 14th and 15th, so I'll miss all the other tpf'ers.For those going to Paris in April, where are you booking hotels at? Is anyone else coming form the Washington, Dc area?
