Gay Paree! We arrived to find that
our hotel was the cutest, quaintest thing ever. De Beaumarchais
was an 18th century writer (he wrote The Marriage of Figaro,
among other things) who lived next door to this space. All the rooms
have been redone with period-specific decorations, and framed first-print
copies of the writer's work, and stuff like that. We just loved
it.

Poor Jen, forced to pose like a dork tourist. Thank god we're not
really dork tourists!

This is the lobby--it looks usable, but actually that piano and
the card table are from the 18th century. It all stays like that,
just so.

Here's our room: Room #1, on the ground floor, overlooking the "courtyard,"
which turned out to be a glorified airshaft with some potted plants.
On the other side of the courtyard was the lobby, so we had to keep
our curtains closed so as not to be seen nekkid by fellow guests.
The room was tiny but precious.

Here's a video of the room.
