About this Stay
I stayed for three nights at the Hilton hotel in Paris.
At this hotel, I especially enjoyed breakfast. Every morning, I could have as much as I liked of generously sized, authentic French croissants, madeleines, and large strawberries. There was also a wide selection of dried fruits and nuts.
