The End of World War II Parade – Celebrating the Rejuvenation of Paris

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:57:16 +0000

The City of Lights, the Fashion Capital of the World – the monikers of Paris are many. However, it is universally agreed that the historic city sitting sedately upon the banks of the magnificent River Seine is the most romantic in the whole of Europe. What sets the French capital apart from the other grand dames of the Continent is not only its poetic atmosphere and proliferation of art – it is also the air of liberation and love of expression that permeates the culture of Parisians. This precious love of expression and freedom saw sudden and brutal suppression during the Nazi era.

The liberation of Paris was surely neither the most significant nor the most dramatic victory seen by the Allies during WWII, yet surely it was the most joyous and romantic liberation of its history. Grandparents and great grandparents still pass down the tales of the emotional dizziness and joy of Parisians dancing in the streets as they sped the Germans out of their beloved city. It is also important to realize that Hitler had ordered the city to be burnt rather than see it surrendered and but for timely diplomatic intervention Europe’s crown jewel and its unrivalled treasure trove of art and history may have been lost to today’s generations. Today, though most European countries celebrate May 8th as Victory in Europe Day to commemorate the surrender of Hitler’s Third Reich and the end of the Second World War, none can hold a candle to the celebrations of the Parisians who still exult in the release of their beloved city from the Nazi chokehold.

The annual Victory Day Parade held in Paris is still a red-letter holiday for the French. The roads are closed down for the procession of soldiers in full dress regalia playing brass and drums to the cheering of thousands of onlookers who throng the pavements waving tri-color flags in a reenactment of 1944. There are few sights grander or more proud than the regiments marching down the Avenue of Champs Elysees.

For the traveler looking for a luxury Paris hotel in a situation ideal for viewing the parades from the best vantage point, the Millennium Hotel Paris Opéra is highly recommended. The elegant Paris city hotel offers the best in Parisian hospitality and prime access to all of the city’s greatest monuments.

Hotels bathtub refinishing or hotels bathtub resurfacing when combined with tub repairs, save many hotels money in their total bathroom renovation. With bathtub refinishing, old dingy, dull bathtubs can be refinished at a fraction of the cost of tub replacement. Hotels are saving up to 80% of the cost of bathtub replacement by repairing and resurfacing their bathtubs. Such savings are welcome by many in the hospitality industry who are cutting costs in renovation and maintenance. Others hotel owners still, are not sure whether bathtub refinishing is better than bathtub replacement.

Bathtub refinishing Vs Bathtub replacement
Not every bathtub can be refinished. Some will have to end up in the landfills while others can be resurfaced. Bathtub replacement is expensive and messy. Here are the reasons:

Older bathtubs are not the same size as the new ones made today. That poses a problem in trying to get the tub fit into the exact same spot as the old tub. New bathtubs may be bought for less than $300, but the total price for complete replacement may run up to $2000. Walls have to be demolished and tiles may have to be replaced. In addition, a plumber, a tile setter and perhaps an electrician will be needed in order to put the fixtures back together. Another problem with tub replacement is that the old tub, tiles and walls end up at the landfills.

Bathtub resurfacing saves time because it is completed in a day and the tub can be used 24 hours or 48 hours later depending on the coating used by the refinishing company. The whole bathtub restoration process is done in the bathroom and there is no trip to the landfills. The price runs between $250 and $450. With volume discount, hotels get considerable savings.

Bathtub Repairs
Bathtubs, sinks, or showers with cracks, chips, burns or dings can be repaired and resurfaced instead of a complete tub refinishing or replacement. Smoking rooms in many hotels have cigarette burns. These burns can be repaired and refinished instead of replacing the whole tub. During new construction, bathtubs are chipped and cracked. New construction tub repairs save contractors money instead of replacing a new tub simply because it has a chipped surface.

Other Bathtub Resurfacing and Repair Services
o Repair of rusts, cracks, leaks, and chips.
o Refinishing of porcelain, fiberglass, cultured marble, and tile.
o Installation of safety strips – to reduce the risk of slip and fall.
o Sink repairs and refinishing.

o Hotels save up to 80% over the cost of tub replacement
o Tubs look good in just days, not weeks.
o No old fixtures end up at the landfills.
o Refinished bathtubs can last up to 15 years.
