Join me on Sunday, February 26, 2012, when my nationally syndicated radio show, Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams takes you to the Biarritz, France to chat with General Manager Jean-Louis Leimbacher about the hotel’s which was the former summer palace of Napolean III and the Empress Eugenie. I’m standing in the photo above enjoying the view of the hotel’s dining room and the spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. Jean-Louis will explain the hotel’s unique American connection and the reason that the US flag flies next to the French flag standing side-by-side in line with flags from all over the world that represent the many nations that the Hotel du Palais’ guests come from. Jean-Louis also will talk about the many visits to the hotel from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Wallace Simpson and the Duke after his abdication of the throne of the Britain. With the new film that Madonna c0-wrote, directed and produced in theaters, “W./E..” this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the Hotel du Palais!
