Looking for help with a trip to Paris

[Grant76]

I'm planning on taking the Mrs across to Paris for a few days towards the end of March

I've never been before so hoping for some tips on hotels etc

Not looking to spend a huge amount on the hotel, don't plan to be in it for to much of the time

Thanks very much

A quick look at the Campanile chain says that you can get a room for E44.50 a night. You'd take the Metro into Paris which would take about 30 minutes to reach the Eiffel Tower. Not too bad.

We went to Paris this summer, if you happen to be on the Champs Elysees stop in at L'Atelier - Renault's restaurant which happens to have excellent displays on the Ground floor.

If its a short leisure trip this is where I would stay. Also check out the online newspapers, they have all done chic/hip hotels in Paris features that you should find by doing a search - there are some fun place in Le Marais if you book far enough ahead

Generally speaking hotels in Paris are ste; small for the price compared to many other cities and there are plenty that sell based on photos and dumb tourist. even if not staying at hotel lots you still want a place that dcent when you get back in the evening,

Coulnd't agree more, was just trying to stay away from recomendations like the Ritz etc

Got what looks like a lovely wee hotel booked, Hotel Le Brea. Got it for e175 per night which sounds ok (recently refurbished & by the look of the web site, nice & modern)

Any one know of any good restuarants, think I have my touristy things to do sorted (Louvre, Gardens, Eiffel tower, river cruise?) Any help would be great

Thanks
