The Hotel de Crillon is Not For Everyone, Especially Not For You

Where: 10 Place de la Concord, Paris, France, 75008

We've been in Paris for a few days now, mostly meandering about the 7th Arrondissement but the other day, we did all things touristy and headed over to the Louvre.

The monstrous Louvre will take you about a week to go through and see everything. Or you can just do the three ladies--the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the  Winged Victory of Samothrace--and you'll be out in less than an hour and a half.

If you do that, then you've got some free time so you might be thinking, why not head over to the Hotel de Crillon at the Place de la Concorde (just a few blocks walk) and pop in for some tea or a quick bite to eat? You also think this would be a cool way of experiencing the hotel without having to fork over $1,000 a night.

Well, think again.
