Suggestions for our visitors, who are also our members.
There is no commission.
- Good hotels that are reasonably priced
Paris is full of small hotels,
which are correct and affordable.
(They are much harder to find in London and New York).

 - Near the métro Pasteur, in the south
• Spartan but adequate: convenient transportation, Eiffel Tower view from some windows, hometown Paris....
 - In the Left Bank's Saint-Germain-des-Près
• Refined: exceptional attention to detail, minutes from a spectacular stroll across the Seine.
|
|
 - In the Marais, a hotel that loves movies
• Original. The former director of the casino at "The Sands", where Frank Sinatra sang, regularly stays at this hotel.
• Excellent: At the end of this poetic covered passage, a 10-minute walk from Opéra, hides the best hotel value we know. Clients include people from the provinces who stay here regularly. One must reserve several months in advance.

 - In the historic "Marais", five minutes' from the Picasso Museum
Single Parisians, who are relatively mobile, may rent their apartments to visitors whom we recommend. Costs vary: Knowing your budget will help us recommend.

There's much more space than hotels offer, you go to restaurants only when you wish and you meet delightful hosts, whose tips will help you discover the neighborhood.

 - A place to give her the ring.
• A place to give her an engagement ring. This 19th-century restaurant has preserved its intimate salons particuliers, which candle-light make deeply romantic.

• Next day. If the fiancé is a "meat and potatoes man", we suggest a convivial restaurant with hearty portions.

- Transport – a car and driver can be very useful
|
|
Most drivers are engaged via specialized agencies, which vary in quality. It is tempting to choose low-end intermediaries when one deals with masses of clients whom one will never see again.
We've guided for a number of hotels and agencies and so have worked with many drivers. We recommend only drivers whom we know are courteous and reliable, and whose cars are clean and comfortable.
