Other than dont go!

I havent been since I was a child and I would like to take Ms Charmless to Paris for a day or two, she will then be Mrs Charmless. This will be a pre-honeymoon-moon.. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice hotel to stay. Any suggestions for interesting or outstanding places to eat would also be magnifique!

Looking at one or two nights in early August room budget of around £150 - £200 per night tops we'll be driving over so not sure if parking will be something to conider?! Meal's, nothing too pretentious as I won't be packing a dj. Other than that I'd be interested in any suggestions from the best croissant in town up to restaurants with a budget of up to £100 per head.

We've had some great recommendations in the past from PH members. Any advice you can give would great fully received.

190 Rue Courcelles, 75017 Paris, France (Batignolles-Monceau)

A little known restaurant. They don't even have a website. Tiny, intimate and yet hugely popular with the locals. Very reasonably priced for top quality food. It is owned and operated by the owners. Fantastic hospitality. The restaurant is named after their Yorkshire Terrier! A restaurant has operated here since the Nazi occupation and it's rumoured that the resistance often met at the back, whilst the Gestapo dined in the front, ala Allo!, Allo!

Thanks for that one, we'll definitely take a look at that.

Any other suggestions for restaurants/cafes and hotels/accommodation or areas to sty in/avoid would be great fully received.

Thank you n

Go to rue Mouffetard or rue Buci. Pick one at random.

Afternoon tea at George V is a bit special and won't break the bank. £35 a head or so (same as a decent London establishment)

My wife and I stayed in the Hôtel Waldorf Trocadéro. It is on Rue Lauriston which is off Avenue Kleber (one of the roads off the arc de triomphe. Close to Champs Elysees and the Eiffel Tower, close to a Metro stop also.

Not loaded with features but a nice place and very friendly staff. Nice comfortable rooms.

Cafe Kleber is close by and that was nice. The reviews on Trip advisor may say otherwise but I liked it. Also Pub Kleber just down the road was very reasonably priced and good food. Le Coq near the Trocadero was also very good.
