    Default 1 Week in Paris (March 2011) - Recommendations? Advice? Local Meetup?

    My wife and I are taking a little romantic trip without our 2-year old son in Paris this upcoming March. She will already be there for work one week prior and I will meet up with her afterwards.

    I have tons of Marriott points and plan to use them at this hotel (Marriott Champs Elysees):

    Paris Marriott Hotel Champs-Elysees, France: upscale hotel rooms in downtown Paris, France

    Is this decent? It seems to check off all the boxes (location, 5 stars, uses my points). We'll be there on holiday for about 1 week. I've only been to Paris once before, but that was only for 3 days. I've been to Southern France (Provence, Cote d'Azur, etc) a few times but have never spent any significant time in the big city of Paris.

    Any advice is appreciated. If you're local to Paris and have any time in March, feel free to PM me. I would love to meet up.

    I'll PM you when we get there! Any idea how I can visit Bugatti in Molsheim? I wrote them an email and they declined my request.

    Not for me, but plenty of pate, foie gras, and wine will be consumed!

    Will do! I spent 3 days in Paris about 6 years ago and liked it a lot. I saw my first F430 and Zonda in Paris. I'm sure things have changed quite a bit there since then.
