Paris

Place of Travel -Paris

Airline/Transportation - We flew from Rome on Iberia. For Iberia you can use your American Advantage program.

Hotel/Hostels - We stayed at the Hotel Le Pavillion. It was okay. Like most inexpensive hotels (and some expensive) Paris hotel rooms are small! Good location (not close to Jewish area). Can literally see the Eiffel Tower from there.

Time Spent - Our flight was moved forward so we were there 2 nights and 2 days.

Assistance for the Trip (guides, programs, Issta, etc) - We used Travelocity and Orbitz for the flights and Hotels.com for the booking of the hotel.

Jewish Sites - We went to the Jewish Art History? Museum (Maybe just Jewish Museum). Very cool. We got in free because I was a Rabbinical Student.

Kosher Restaurants -
We went to the Jewish quarter and had Falafel at L'as Du Falafel. There is a picture of Lenny Kravitz on the door. It is the BEST falafel I have ever had. There are a bunch of restaurants there. All looked pretty good. The bakery was amazing.

Minyanim - I believe there are minyanim near the Jewish quarter.

Recommendations/Favorite Sites -Definitely go to the Falafel place above. Eiffel tower is super cool of course. We went at night and it was beautiful.

Notes/Comments -We needed more time in Paris. I suggest getting a 10 way train pass to fit more in. Its not really worth walkign everywhere in Paris.
