Paris Accommodation

[Saintly]

Will be in Paris for 6 days. Can anyone suggest a good central location to stay. Close to metro lines, cafes, restaurants and shops but not too far away from the usual tourists attractions.

The Pullman Eiffel is good and around the main shopping districts. It should be around A$250.00 per night

Six days I would recommend you get an apartment......I spend 5 months a year in Paris and always use Holiday rentals, private rooms, sublets by the night - Accommodations on Airbnb and have never been let down. Paris hotels are overpriced and generally not that great unless you spend up.

In terms of areas The Marais (3rd and 4th) is great for shopping and right near Notre Dame, there are a bunch of good restaurants around the area and a heap of bars on Oberkamph and in Bastille which are only a short walk away.

The main department stores (Printemps/Galleries Lafayette) are in the 9th near Opera but there is not much else around there.

The other option is to stay in Montmarte which is a very touristy area however its still nice, if you want cobbled streets and the postcard Parisen feel then stay here, sights around the area include the moulin rouge and sacre coeur.

In the end Paris is tiny and you will never be more than 15-20 minutes away from anywhere by metro.

Have Fun!!!

Rue Jacob rue jacob paris - Google Maps great location & many hotels to suit any budget. Stayed along this street 3 times in three different hotels over the years.

If the budget allows I also recommend this one http://www.relais-christine.com/

And several handy metro stations

i stayed in the 2nd near Sentier metro in an apartment. Loved the area, great foodie street. Apartment definitely the way to go. I used Centre Paris apartments, paid 100 euro per nite.
