Kim - Both of my posts were on a long thread that began in 2008. The name of the thread is:
"PARIS" Christmas Wonderland River Cruise 12/12/2009 ROLL CALL
The thread is on the "B&K 2009 Escorted Cruises and Tours" forum.
There are a number of other good suggestions for hotels and things to do in Paris. Worth a review.
Have fun planning. Cheers, Fred
