Trip back in time and stay at the oldest, most luxurious hotel on 
Place de la Concorde
, the historic 
Hôtel de Crillon. Though it's packed with 
17th and 18th century tapestries
, sparkling chandeliers, gilt-and-brocade furniture, fine sculpture, and 
Louis XVI
 chests and chairs, the anachronistic state-of-the-art amenities will remind you it's 2010.  No wonder 
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis
, 
poor little rich girl Barbara Hutton
, 
Charlie Chaplin
, international playboy 
Porfirio Rubirosa
, and 
Orson Welles
 slept here. So have 
Elizabeth Taylor
 and Arnie (
Schwarzenegger
).  
Marie-Antoinette 
may have let them eat cake, but history tells us this is where she took music lessons.  
Mariah Carey
, 
Axl Rose
, and 
Madonna
 no longer need to study, but they've all spent the night.  There's even a 
Leonard Bernstein 
suite, named for the great 20th century conductor and composer, which features three bedrooms, two living rooms, a sauna, jacuzzi, Turkish bath and high tech equipment.  Stand on the large terrace and take in a majestic 
view of Paris
, from the 
Eiffel Tower
 to 
the Musée d’Orsay
. Want to see for yourself?  You're in luck.
