Can anybody recommend a good hotel in Paris near the Eiffel Tower?

I fancy visiting Paris for a short break at some point this year and wondered if anyone could recommend a good hotel and anything else you think is worth doing while I'm over there.

Many thanks :)






Answer :
I'd definitly recommend the one I stayed in - it's called Splendid Hotel and is literally a 5 minute walk through a park to the foot of the Eiffel tower. Hotel looks over the park and to the tower (obviously if you get a room that faces that way). It's address is 29 Avenue De Tourville, Paris, 75007 if you want to check it out on an online map for location

I booked through www.hotels.com and got a night free too






Answer :
Is there any particular reason you want to sleep near the Eiffel Tower?
There is lots to do during your stay in Paris in addition to going up the Eiffel Tower.
A far better idea will be to stay at a hotel that is more central, nearer to all the other things you do in Paris. Then you go to the Eiffel Tower and spend half a day or a day going up the tower, wandering through the Trocadero, the Champs de Mars, etc. When you go back to your hotel in central Paris, you can wander through the Latin quarter, the Halles, etc. The Eiffel Tower area is not so interesting in the evening.






Answer :
Because I think renting a flat in Paris is worth it I would recommend you Lodjee ( http://www.lodjee.com/paris ) to be honest Hotel in Paris especially near the Eiffel Tower are very expensive !
The Marais is a good place to hang out, nice bars, shops and restaurants, probably my favorite. I also like the big market : le marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen - Porte de Clignancourt
And well loads of museums
Here are some links for some help !
Enjoy your trip






Answer :
Here's a link with a list of Hotels near the eiffel tower in Paris: http://www.lookotel.com/result.php?searc…

This site is the cheapest way to book because it's not a third party, so no broker fees;)






Answer :
while its not in paris, it certainly feels like it..why not stay in the Bellagio In Las Vegas, you are right across the street from the Eiffel Tower In the hotel Paris Las Vegas and you have great service, along with the fountains of bellagio






Answer :
Just be aware that after dark, the Eiffel Tower area is very dark and quiet with not much to do. There are other areas of Paris that have much more going on unless you have a special need to be in that area....

Re painting my room! i need help!?

I'm redoing my room. I want everything to be black and white, but have pictures and paintings around the room of different places around the world to add color. [I have pictures of the eiffel tower all lit up, big ben .. etc.] I was originally going to paint my room white, then splatter paint it with black, but I am having second thoughts. any ideas of what to use the black paint for?? [ i wont make one wall black..that would be too dark for me]

Additional Details

I'm redoing my room. I want everything to be black and white, but have pictures and paintings around the room of different places around the world to add color. [I have pictures of the eiffel tower all lit up, big ben .. etc.] I was originally going to paint my room white, then splatter paint it with black, but I am having second thoughts. any ideas of what to use the black paint for?? [ i wont make one wall black..that would be too dark for me]
i have a black and white bed, black and white bookshelf, and a black and white desk... if that helps






Answer :
do stripes of black and white, not thin stripes, but thick stripes. paint all walls either white or black (i recommend white) and that will be the background. Then use painters tape and make vertical stripes down the wall, making sure they are straight and evenly spaced for however thick you want your lines (ex. 1 foot and be sure to take into account the width of the tape.) It may be a bit of work, but it creates a cool effect. You can get painting advice from the Home Depot if you are having any troubles.






Answer :
I think you should have a black ceiling and either do trim or other random furniture or decorations in your room black (I can imagine a black corner desk in the corner of the room). When you mentioned the Eiffel Tower all lit up it gave me an idea to use twinkly little lights around the room. Kind of like christmas lights






Answer :
I do not think you should splatter paint it because it would make it really busy and difficult to decorate. But I do think you could paint your walls white and either paint your floorboards and window/door borders black OR do a ceiling trim with black and maybe even do a cute little design like paisley, swirls, or a dripping effect.

Another thing I could suggest is doing a little cityscape border at the bottom of your walls in black, it would go with the city paintings and add in the black you want! Hope this helps!






Answer :
my room is decorated with black and white and my walls are blue and it looks amazing.

Can a plane fly with 0km/h?

can you fly from east to west at a certain speed so you can fly at 0km/h related to a point of earth? it is all about the atmosphere, is it moving at the same speed as the earth? the falling is directly to earth, if you trow an object off the Eiffel tower, it will land somewhere eastern than the initial location..so, is it possible to fly a plane over at 0km/h?






Answer :
The Earth, the air, and the airplane all move as one. To fly east to west with a ground speed of zero, you need to fly into a wind that is strong enough to allow the airplane to fly, because the airplane must always be moving with respect to the air around it.

If you are outside the atmosphere, the rules change. For example, geosynchronous satellites orbit at a speed that keeps them over the same spot on Earth at all times. That's possible because they don't have to deal with an atmosphere that is moving at the same speed as the Earth's surface. For an airplane to do that, however, it would have to actually fly through the atmosphere at high speed.

Depending on the aircraft and latitude, it's possible to fly west at a speed that keeps the aircraft motionless with respect to outer space, while the Earth and atmosphere move past it. But the opposite cannot be done—you can't fly east at a speed that keeps you at the same spot above the Earth, because the atmosphere is moving east with you, and you need to be moving forward with respect to the atmosphere. If you had enough of a headwind, you could do it, but headwinds strong enough for that don't exist (there isn't any place on Earth with a 1000-mph headwind that you could use for this purpose along the Equator, for example).






Answer :
With given conditions of gravity and the movement of the earth about it's axis and the concept of the atmosphere moving with it, makes your theory possible... a plane can fly at 0kph with respect to the speed of earth's rotation (relative velocity)...






Answer :
What you are really asking is 'is it possible for an aircraft to maintain a geostationary orbit?' The answer is yes. Typically at low altitudes this is done using a helicopter.

It is virtually impossible to achieve this using a fixed wing aircraft as the lift in an aerofoil is created by the wind moving over the surface and creating high pressure below it and low pressure above it. The further away you move from the earth's surface, the lower the gravitational pull and the greater the forward speed required in order to maintain a geostationary orbit, however, the density of the air is also reduced so the amount of lift available to an aerofoil is also reduced. The catch is that the air is neither stationary nor moving at a constant velocity. Moreover, the direction changes. Thus it is not reliable as a means of providing constant even lift.

Satellites manage to keep a geostationary orbit by flying at an altitude where the forward motion compensates for the downward motion due to gravity. Eventually, friction from the extremely thin atmosphere will eventually slow them down and unless corrected by booster rockets, they would eventually fall to earth, or burn up in the atmosphere.






Answer :
In theory. . . .
If you were flying into a headwind that was at a sustained and steady speed that was sufficient to move enough air across the wings to provide the needed lift, then you would not need to change position relative to the ground - 0 ground speed.

The problem is that the wind is not usually steady at a single, high enough speed, and, if going fast enough, is unlikely to be smooth.

That scenario would be much more likely with a small private plane that does not need a very high wind speed for the necessary lift.






Answer :
Yes. The aircraft must fly into a headwind equal to the speed of the aircraft and sufficient for the aircraft to remain aloft. By this I mean that if the stall speed of the plane is 100 miles/hour, the plane needs to fly into a headwind of at least 100 miles/hour but less than the maximum speed of the plane. In this way, the speed of the plane relative to the Earth will be zero.
