When we land in Paris early on the morning of September 2, we'll be met at the airport by our English-speaking guide and our motor coach driver. We will head westerly into the Normandy region and our home for the next two nights in Lisieux. In this town of St. Therese of the Child Jesus ("The Little Flower"), we will be staying in the pilgrimage accommodation, the Ermitage Sainte Therese. All rooms will have their own bathroom, but may not have a hair dryer. (I know that Cynthia just bought a dual-voltage travel hair dryer... maybe some can share?!)
This website also offers basic information about St. Therese and her family, and the main sites of Lisieux, which will be very close to our Ermitage!

Our home base for the remainder of our pilgrimage will be the Hotel Opera Cadet, on a quiet street in the midst of the Opera district in Paris.
The hotel website does mention free wi-fi - my guess is that it is available in the lobby rather than in all guest rooms- but free is good!
Of course, all rooms will have their own bathroom (with hair dryer), but please just be prepared that hotel rooms in Paris are quite... cozy (small) by American standards.
And with all things travel-related, please know that circumstances could cause a change of location. (That's not planned or expected, but I just have to add that in!)
