Something we've been meaning to tell you is about a hotel near Bon Marché. It is the Hôtel Lutétia; one of the great hotels of Paris. It has 220 rooms and has one of the highest ratings for hotels in this city. But there is more to the story than that. During World War II, this magnificent, palatial hotel was the headquarters for the Gestapo. In a wonderful irony, at the war's end, it served as the post-war liberation centre where families could be reunited with members who had sirvived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps.
Christmas is beginning to move in on us now. As we came back from a short trip today we noticed that our local town hall had its Christmas trees up. A lovely sight and from all we hear it will only get better as December progresses.
