The Beatles stayed at the George V Hotel in Paris in January 1964. During their stay at the hotel they composed three of their hit songs: “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “If I Fell”, and “I Should Have Known Better”. The band was also informed at this hotel that their song “I Want to Hold Your Hand” had reached number one on the US charts. They celebrated this news with a pillow fight. Address: 31 avenue George V, 75008 Paris, France. The Beatles played 18 shows at the Olympia Theatre between January 16 and February 4, 1964.
