"Do you guys have any eating/drinking info for this hotel area?"
There are cafes, bars and restaurants all over the place there. You can't go wrong with Falstaff for the beer selection and the food seems to be pretty good there as well. There is a Jazz club next door to the hotel that is good. There are also a couple of Irish Pubs nearby. If you want to walk to the Latin Quarter it will take about 20 minutes. The concierge is busy but about as helpful as any Parisian can be. Just ask where these places are. All in all there is a lot to do there.
Have fun but remember, your per diem won't cover 3 meals a day there unless you eat at Mickey D's. Good luck to any STV'ers that end up in CDG on this LOA. You are basically PDO (per diem only) on the days you don't fly. Whoops..sorry for the thread slip!
