When you next visit Paris, try the Astrid Hotel, you will not be disappointed! You will find it in an aurea of calm,in a central position, close to the Champs Elysées-Palais des congrés and la défense. Everywhere you go, there is nothing to jar the tone. The bedrooms are all charming, furnished by someone who has an eye for these things. Fabrics, velvet, stately materials of wood and wrought iron, a restful and cosy cary atmosphere. A successful combination of harmony, mellowness and well-being. If we had wanted, we could have eaten in the dinning room where you are spoiled for choice with a huge help yourself buffet; cereals, yoghurts, pastries, fruit juces, cheeses, the list is endless.
