Upon checking in to our Paris Hotel…
Me: So, we are on the 4th floor. Do they have an elevator so we don’t have to drag this luggage up three flights of stairs?
Matt: Four.
Me: What?
Matt: Four flight of stairs. The 4th floor is actually the fifth floor up so it’s four flights of stairs.
Me: I don’t get it?
Matt: In Europe, this floor is just the ground floor and the next floor up is the first floor and so on.
Me: That doesn’t make any sense.
Matt: It makes perfect sense.
Me: So, then when you are counting you start with zero?
Matt: …
Me: Exactly.
Luckily, they did have an elevator that was approximately 4’x2’. It was a beautiful hotel and I’ll post more later about our trip.
