      I’m traveling to Paris in April and was wondering about a hotel, could you give an opinion and or a better recommendation over this hotel, the one I was thinking of was Maison Albar Le Diamond in the 8th

    This past October I stayed in Montparnasse which I thoroughly enjoyed. The neighborhood is very convenient with great transportation & easy access to so many attractions that you’ve mentioned as well as Jardin Luxembourg-on a sunny day, a great place for a picnic.
    I love this channel & appreciate all that you do to introduce us to Paris & the beautiful regions of France. Merci & bonne année Colleen & Antoine!

    I stayed at the Hôtel Monge that you mentioned in this video. I enjoyed it and the price was reasonable. The concierge was very helpful and recommended La Petite Périgourdine for dinner. Delicious. I would stay there again.

    The first time my wife and I were in Paris, we stayed in the 2nd.. It was enjoyable, but we really went out at night.
    But our second time in Paris, we stayed in the 9th, safe day or night, spectacular location, music, cafés, and a short walk to major attractions..
    A third time in Paris, we stayed in the night again, and traveled to the 3rd & 4th to listen to jazz

    Another excellent and insightful overview. In watching it I realized that I've stayed in most of those areas over the 57 years that I've been going to Paris. I tend to prefer the 4th, the Marais. It strikes an excellent balance. In the past few years we've stayed in the 17th, which has a wonderful neighborhood feel but, as you say, is a bit far from things. But no matter -- we would just go around other areas during the day, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the 17th at night. We prefer to rent apartments rather than hotels. That allows us to shop in the local markets and cook dinners in the apartment A leisurely apéritif at a café downstairs, followed by a simple but wonderful dinner 'at home.' That feels truly authentic.

    Back in the early 80s we would stay in hotels ranging between 6FF & 12FF. The SdB was down the hall but so cheap and not a problem :) 1FF=$0.20 Sort of like the old Volkswagen ad... 4 tires just like a Rolls Royce, etc. Later on we lived in the 16th and still had a good time. Happy holidays.

      SHANGRI LA is a five-star hotel that belongs to a Hongkongese group. The minimum price is 1400 euros per night. While this is really a luxury hotel, do you really want to be in an Asian style hotel when you stay in Paris? I think k it's better to have a fully parisian style hotel when you come to Paris, disregarding the price you can afford to pay.

    We just stayed in the 5th and enjoyed the location. The apt we were in was located directly between 2 metro stations, so easy to get wherever we were going and only a very short walk to the river near Jardin des Plants and the spots to pick up the Batobus or evening dinner cruise (we tried booking the dinner cruise recommended by Les Frenchies, but availability was too tough to find--we ended up on Diamant and loved it and the fact that we could board in our neighborhood). One thing I would say about the 5th, make sure you're not toooooo close to the hospital on Bd de l'Hopital, you'll hear a lot of ambulance sirens all day long if so.

    I stayed at Novotel Paris de Eiffel. I believe it was in the 16th district. It was about a half mile walk to the Eiffel Tower. I really enjoyed my stay. My room had a view of the tip of the Eiffel Tower. When I got sick my 2nd day in Paris, and had to stay in, my room had a bathtub. A hot bath felt really good while sick.Plus, since it was just me in the room, I left the bathroom door, and just took in the view. So, even being sick, it was not bad. Yeah, it was far away from most of the attractions, but I was 2 blocks away from a Metro station, and could be anywhere in the city in about 30-45 minutes. Since I was out of commission for about half my time in Paris, I do plan on coming back in the off season. I do have a strange question though. Seeing that map of Paris, made me think...My favorite band is AC/DC. One of the last places Bon Scott performed was the Pavillion de Paris. I have been trying to find out what happened to that building, but all I can find online is that it was closed in 1980. Does that building still stand? If so what is it now? If it was demolished, What was built in its place? Not sure if you guys know, but maybe a local that watches does?

    In reality, other than for one's first visit to Paris, where it would be nice to stay in a central and iconic area, it doesn't really matter where you stay on subsequent or extended visits, unless you're rich, because Paris isn't that large compared to say NYC or London, has an excellent public transit system, there are few truly must avoid areas, and is a very walkable city.
    On my first visit to Paris as an adult (my parents took me when I was 5, which I still fondly remember, but no idea where we stayed), I stayed about as central as it gets, right around the corner from the Place Vendome in the now defunct Hotel de France et Choiseul, but on subsequent visits I stayed further out, and was perfectly fine with it, and even preferred it in some ways beyond saving money.
    Save your money for food, attractions and purchases.

    I think you could have talked about the 15th that has nice accommodations and you can have a view of the Eiffel Tower. Especially the MottePiquet and Sèvres Lecourbe areas that are close to many monuments like the Invalides and Ecole Militaire and Champs de Mars. You have also the Beaugrenelle area that is a very vibrant shopping area. Sevre Lecourbe area has very good connection to metro lines 12, 6, 10 and many bus lines. It is not tour far from Le Bon Marché in the 6th.

  • @christopherhill2786
    @christopherhill2786 18 годин тому +6

    Yes, the hotels are great. Staying in a hotel, however, usually requires that you eat out for most meals. When you have dietary concerns, eating out for most meals is not always possible, and therefore self-catering is the only reliable option. On reading of the difficulties some travellers have had with AirBnB (although we have used AirBnB twice before in Paris) It would be useful if you could recommend some reputable Parisian rental agencies.

      The places I have found free washrooms are large department stores (they tend to be on upper floors, refer to the store floor map) and free museums (although you do need to go through security).
      Other free museum washrooms are Centre Pompidou (they're to the left of the ticket windows) and Musee du Luxembourg, due to the attached restaurant that shares the museum restroom (go through security, walk past the ticket windows on the right and the bathrooms are downstairs).
      In an emergency, I found 1 euro bathrooms available in the Westfield Forum de Halles shopping center. It's a very big place but they are on the shopping center maps.

    10th arrondissement is great but please stay away from Gare du Nord directly, unless you’re traveling. It’s relatively fine but it can be dangerous at night especially. Paris is weird in the sense that great or bad areas can be just one street away. Same with montmartre, the area is great on the west and really not on the east side of the 18th arrondissement. I absolutely love Paris and I hate when people have a bad experience because they end up in the wrong area by accident

      If you're planning a budget-friendly trip to Paris, here are some accommodation options:
      Hostels: Check out Generator Paris, Le Village Montmartre, or MIJE Marais. Dorms start at €25-30 per night, and some include breakfast.
      Budget Hotels: Look for Ibis Budget, B&B Hotels, or HotelF1 for rooms starting at €40-60 per night.
      Campsites: Try Camping de Paris (in Bois de Boulogne) or Camping Paris-Est (in Champigny). Tent pitches start at €20-25 per night.

    I don't know why anyone would want to stay in Montmartre. It's so noisy at night.
    I usually stay in the 15th, which you didn't cover at all. It's possibly the most neighborhoody area of Paris. There's no tourist attractions at all, unless you want to do a lot of shopping in Beaugrenelle. The 16th is my other favorite. I love the elegance and quiet bourgeois atmosphere. But neither of there areas is good for visitors trying to walk the least possible. Walking is the point of these arrts. The 7th and 17th round out my preferences.
    Thank you for the good recommendations.

    How is Pullman Paris near the Eiffel Tower?
    My wife is highly insistent on a nice hotel near the Eiffel Tower with a great balcony view of the Eiffel Tower.
