We stayed at Hotel Mondial for 6 nights from 15th to 21st of Dec. The weather in Paris is not too gloomy for winter, with couple of days of sunshine. The hotel is right on Rue Montmartre and therefore quite convenient, in the middle of all landmarks of Paris. The Sacred Coeur, the Artist area on Place du Tertre, The Notre Dame, Shakespeare and Company, Jardin de Luxemburg, etc are all within walking distances, about one mile away, more or less. The hotel is next to restaurants, supermarkets, Metro, etc...The staff are really helpful. They also arranged for a taxi to come pick us up and take us to Orly Airport at 4 am for ̀̀55 euros, which is very reasonable. We loved the free coffee, tea, cakes and chocolate candies in the reception hall. Thanks for everything.
