The way to the hotel

Eating an authentic crepe in Paris - Check! I was warmly greeted at the restaurant - the waitstaff switched to English right away due to my poor French. I was immediately brought free water and asked where I was from. The crepes were delicieux (or delicieuse?). 

Then I continued towards the hotel. On the way, I passed the square of the Louvre as well as the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which should not be confused with the 'real' Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Elysées. 

I also passed by the Olympic Flame. This 'flies' up once a day, but today it wasn't due to maintenance. Perhaps I will see it tomorrow!

My hotel is located on a quiet street between the opera house and the Moulin Rouge. I was very kindly welcomed and then went straight up the stairs to the 5th floor to my super small but sweet hotel room. Backpack and shoulder bag went straight into the shower and I checked the bed for bedbugs - luckily found nothing. I wouldn’t have even known what to do if I had found bedbugs. Go to the reception and say 'Excusez-moi, j'ai des punaises de lit'?
