Hotel Le Relais du Louvre :-
Situated between the Louvre and Notre-Dame (and within walking distance of the Pont Neuf and the Pont des Arts), the Relais du Louvre is in the historic heart of Paris. Within the walls of an 18th C. building, the charm of yesteryear has been recreated with that discreet luxuriousness known as refinement. Restful colour schemes and charming period furniture, combined with all the modern refinements such as air-conditioning and modem sockets, provide the elegant setting for the suites and rooms. Close beside the church of St-Germain-l’Auxerrois, privileged peace and quiet is also to be found in this hotel created in 1991 and completely renovated in Spring 2000.
Wedding Trivia:
RICE THROWING
Rice has been used as a symbol of fertility and as a wish for a "full pantry" in various parts of the world from ancient to modern times. In the past, rice was not the only thing thrown at the bride and groom as the left the wedding. Wheat, instead of rice, was thrown in France, figs and dates were thrown in Northern Africa, and a combination of coins, dried fruit, and candy was thrown in Italy. In some European countries eggs are thrown!Rice is not harmful to the birds that eat it, but an article in California professing this to be the case, has caused birdseed to replace rice at most weddings. Flower petals, confetti, baubles, and balloons are often used today instead of rice.
