Filipino hospitality
in Paris |
|
By Rome Jorge, Lifestyle
Editor
Parlez-vous français? Even if
you don’t speak a word of French, run out of things to say in
perfect English and unwittingly descend into Taglish, there is a
place in Paris that welcomes the kababayan. At Rue Gavarni, within
sight of the majestic Eiffel Tower is a three star hotel that is an
authentic Parisian experience with a truly Filipino surprise.
When you step into this hotel,
one will immediately notice that most of the staff are suspiciously
look, sound and act like Filipinos despite speaking fluent French.
Hotel Gavarni combines the traditions of hospitality of both
Filipino and French cultures. Venture into introducing yourself as a
Filipino. Kumusta. In Paris, it’s good to be back home.
