The class coordinator selected the Hotel Terminus for us, it
is very close to the southern Paris train station with a Metro
entrance immediately outside the hotel's entrance. The room was a bit
small by US standards, but had a nice bathroom and a great air
conditioner; the latter was probably another reason for selecting
the Hotel Terminus, for American visitors. The view out our 5th floor
(European counting system) was along the street leading to the
Montparnasse train station. Being located on the 5th floor meant that we used the elevator going up, but found the stairs faster going down. The elevator was a bit tiny, as only two people could use the elevator at the same time. Upon arrival, I sent Ms Becky and her bag up first to find the room and followed with my |
luggage in short order. When we left
the hotel, I sent Ms Becky down via the stairs and then loaded the
bags into the elevator and sent them down while I followed along the
spiral stairway that encircled the elevator. The hotel entrance is on Montparnasse Boulevard in an area with many restaurants and cafes. Our room was directly above the letter "L" in the word "Hotel." On Sunday evening a large group of roller bladers came down Montparnasse Boulevard and passed by for over ten minutes, as all the traffic waited to pass through this otherwise congested confluence of streets. However, just a few streets away from Montparnasse Boulevard are residential neighborhoods where we saw a flea market while walking about on Sunday afternoon. |
