Which is the best five star hotel in Paris?

I am going with my wife to Paris to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I want it to be special and want to stay in the best five star hotel in Paris. Which hotel should I choose?

That is an awesome question, and a question that is kind of impossible to answer. There are more than 40 five star hotels in Paris, so there are way to many hotels to choose from, so our answer will mostly be based on general feedback from visitors and user reviews written on the Internet. Not many cities in Europe have as many five star hotels as Paris; Prague is a very popular city, but still they only have about 35 five star hotels. The little city of Belfast on the other hand only has two real five star hotels.

A five star hotel in Paris needs to be centrally located, but since the city is way to big, there is not such thing as an ideal position from which everything can be reached. Here are two hotels that we believe both fit into the category as the best five star hotel in Paris, and then you can of course feel free to pick a hotel in the one that sounds best and finest and most romantic to you!

Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière

What can be better than a five star hotel in Paris, just along the Champs Elysees, and only a few metres from the Arc de Triomphee.

As you understand luxury and glamor awaits you in Paris. Based on user reviews Hotel Fouquet normally scores a bit higher, but if we had to choose, we would go for Four Seasons. However, if our wallet was to choose, then we would check the prices of both, and go for the cheapest.

Where can I watch PSG play their matches online?

I am a big fan of PSG and I really want to watch their matches online on the web. Can you please tell me how to do so? I live in Albania!

Parc des PrincesThank you for the question. If you want to watch French football and your favorite PSG as they play their matches online that can be done, not extremely easy, but not very difficult either. Most channels broadcasting from Ligue 1 are channels taking paid by their viewers, meaning that you need quite expensive subscription to watch for one month or so. Based on our knowledge the cheapest way of watching Ligue 1, thus also PSG, online is to use a VPN provider which can provide you with a Russian IP address.

We will not describe it in detail here what you need to do, but there is a Russian Sport TV channel which will let you watch almost every single match played in Ligue 1 online, you only need to be in Russia, meaning that you need to have a local IP address. Once you have that you can watch all PSG matches played online.

For more detailed instructions on how to do this, and what site you actually need to visit, read the article on how to watch Ligue 1 on watchworldcup.net.

We hope this answer will help you. And, if you ever come to Paris, make sure to actually watch a PSG match as they play. It is great to see the matches online, but to watch them play at Parc des Princes with almost 50,000 people cheering, that is simply amazing!
