The restaurant, Le Savoir, was delicious, but it took over an hour to get our starters.
Breakfast was complicated because the receptionist only served half a breakfast, so there was nothing left to eat, and we had to wait over 15 minutes for it to be replenished, leaving us very little time to eat.
