Le Soleil d'Or
Le Soleil d'Or , a photo by minim on Flickr. Found this on Flickr. A better photo of the Le Soleil d'Or plaque (mentioning Balzac) that's behind the front desk.

The Hotel Normandy: Balzac Slept Here
I suppose the Hotel Normandy deserves its own page. We slept there, and Balzac slept there (back then it went by Le Soleil d'Or). If I heard the manager correctly the hotel is also mentioned in a story by Balzac, but I've not yet tracked that down. Anyway, beautiful, old hotel.
