Good evening everyone, greetings from Nice, France (Nice is pronounced “niece”). I always seem to be a day late and a city behind in my trip reporting. Before reviewing the Radisson Blu Nice and my day trip to Monaco, I want to share my thoughts on my recent 2 night stay at the Hotel Indigo Paris. I used 2 anniversary night certificates from my Chase IHG Credit Card to book the stay. In essence, I “paid” $49 for each night since that is what the annual fee is for the Chase IHG Credit Card.
Getting from CDG Airport to Paris is easy. For €10 per person, you can go from CDG Airport to Châtelet Les Halles station (I have no idea how to properly pronounce this station) on the RER B (blue line) and connect to Opéra/Auber on the RER A (red line). From Opéra/Auber station, the hotel is a short 5 minute walk. Just make sure you know which street to turn on to so you don’t wheel your suitcase around Paris aimlessly like I did.
Getting around Paris can be kind of tricky since there are 2 overlapping train networks (RER and Metro) that share most of the stations. When in doubt, ask the information booth for assistance and they will be happy to help.
