Au Pavillon Bleu - Favorite Hotel Au Pavillon Bleu is situated on Avenue du général Leclerc in Ozoir la Ferrière - situated just outside Paris.
The best part of staying in this hotel is that you have a lovely chinese restaurant just a ten minute walk down the road, and if you use the main road you have two lovely restaurants in round-about when going to the hotel.
The italian restaurant is a true blessing - and we do love to stay at this hotel.
We've been there twice and we're going back again next time we're in Paris.
Service is excellent, and they have a wonderful kitchen that got three stars in 2009.
Just by experiencing their breakfast buffet you get a good impression of the eloquence of French cuisine.
Parc Asterix This is an absolute favorite for kids.
Our kids love staying there two or three days - and each time has been wonderful.
There is so much to see and try, and you feel shot back into the depths of historical villages with incredible adventure scenario.
All people we have talked with have indicated that this is half the price of Disney - but twice the quality level.
You have everything from dolphin shows to roller coaster rides and lots of possibilities to relax in the midst of this adventure park.
The lovely hotel Les Trois Hiboux is an amazing place to stay - and you have a bus going back and forth between the hotel and Parc twice an hour.
Relaxation with everything you needs.
All kids will love this place.
Le Louvre Le Louvre offers you regular exposes - and special arts featuring different ages and artists.
You can spend many days in this wonderful centre of art.
Or you can take the quick tour, and at least get a feel for the magic of French history.
The Seine River Taking one of the boats on a tour of the Seine river is an amazing chance to see Paris from the riverside.
You avoid all the stress of traffic, but get a unique chance to see everything from a new perspective.
In Conclusion This brief review could include numerous other things you need to see.
I have given you a small foretaste of Paris, and hope to have conveyed a small impression of our love for this capital.
