Booking the tickets to fly to Paris for Bri and myself was easy enough. The Air France phone lady was very French, but that comes with the territory. When spelling out the reservation code, she used a word like 'ecru' for the the letter E and all the H's from my name disappeared. Booking the hotel is not as easy. The deals from YourStayParis.com on apartment renting are very reasonable. This Marais-area apartment seemed perfect. However, a little research found NotYourstay.com, a site detailing extensive bait and switches from the company. If something has a just as strong an anti-something, they obviously cancel each other out.
