None of the small historical hotels (most often near the Louvre) I ever stayed in, had them. If I hadn't known before the importance of packing LIGHT, any trip to Paris certainly underscored. Those single bag travel backpacks, that I'd always ignored over wheeled bags suddenly made oh so much sense!

Hang in there!
