Scenario Six

Our scenario

August 2nd to August 7thOn the metro leaving the airport, you were

pickpocketed and lost all your credit cards and most of your important documents. All you have left is 300 euros you exchanged at the airport and a hotel room you booked and paid for in advance. While you wait for your cards and documents to be replaced, you still want to see the sights of Paris. You will need to look for free or almost free entertainment.

Lodging

Hôtel Edgar Twelve playful rooms, each decorated by a

different team of artists or designers, await the lucky few who secure a reservation at this former convent/seamstress workshop.
