France Impressions is a blog about my travels throughout France. Travel is about embarking on journeys, discovering new places, its people, learning from others and in particular, learning about oneself. I believe travel is an art and I like to craft trips and tours around your personality, interests, desires and dreams. I undertake to open for you 'doors that are normally closed" thereby ensuring you gain access to exclusive experiences while introducing you to extraordinary personalities.

George Gershwin, An American in Paris, The new Peninsula Hotel - where he wrote it, is now yours to stay at..
The Peninsula Hotel is a painstaking renovation of the old Hotel Majestic, a Belle Epoque beauty that opened in 1908 (George Gershwin stayed for several weeks while composing An American in Paris ).
Weeks after opening, The Peninsula is already having a major impact on the world’s expectations of what a Paris luxury hotel could or should be. And the 16th-arrondissement hotel is especially admired locally as one of the most extravagant examples of historic preservation the city has seen in many years–a quarry in the Loire was reopened to supply the fish-tail slates for the hotel’s roof, the wood paneling in the bar was restored by a team of ebenistes who usually work in museums.
All in All, its a WOW Hotel..................
