Hotel reservation

Finally made! I will be staying at a hotel right behind the Louvre.

Here's a little picture:



I picked this hotel because it was reasonably priced and in a very good area. I e-mailed my cousin's friend, who works in the Mexican Embassy in Paris and asked which places where the safest. She responded that the arrondissements 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, and 16 were.
An arrondisement is like a sector within Paris. Here's a little wiki entry that explains how the arrondisements are set up:

I now need to buy myself a TGV (Train de Gran Vitesse-- Train of Great Velocity) ticket to get from Paris to Aix-en-Provence.

A bientot mes amis!
