Don't normally like to recommend hotels etc because it can be subjective. However have a look at the Hotel de Vigny by the Arc de Triomphe/Champs-Elysees. Part of the Relais & Chateaux group which guarantees excellent food. Not cheap but ideal for a special occasion

I can't recommend a hotel, but can recommend an area - the Marais. Lots going on. I also recommend looking at the website davidlebovitz.com. He's a Paris based chef/baker and has a fantastic website with recipes, shopping, inc. a very good market in the 4th on Sunday, and restaurants.

Not for hotels, but some good restaurant recommendations on these threads. Last time we went we did a walking tour of the Marais district and it was good fun. If you go, definitely try Falafel Alley (if you like Falafel that is) and try some of the chocolate shops - Jacques Genin's shop is amazing to look at and the chocolate isn't half bad too...http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2008/12/jacques_genin_opens_in_paris.html

Hotel Tremoille is posh and worth every Euro. Quite an experience. Highly recommended.

Hotel Atlantis Saint Germain is a real find. Bargain price, great location, lovely hotel. I can't find its website but the reviews are here:

Many thanks for all the recommendations, will have a look.

It's just taken me ages to find this thread - thought I was going mad and then did a search and found it here in the lounge - spooky as I posted it in wanted, recommendations section!

Thanks again

the Marais is a great area to stay, if you want something fun and different(but not the cheapest) try Le Petit Molin...

It's fab and worth paying a bit more for... very theatrical and very Parisian

see the link below for more comments and info

happy trip!

try le hotel d,esmeralda - rue st-julien le pauvre,

its not the most modern of hotels, but it has character in abundance, with views of the seine and notre dame and its also more or less next door to another parisian institute - shakespeare and co. highly recommended.

And the bar downstairs hosts excellent soul/jazz/funk bands. Just be sure to soften your pronunciation of the 't' in chat when talking to the frogs. 'Le cha(t) noir' means 'the black cat' whilst 'Le ChaT noir' means something entirely different...uuufff.

    • Nope, not "complaining or moaning", stating an opinion. Tax - yes we are taxed to the hilt, the threshold is £12570, Govts not increasing this means more and more people get dragged into paying tax. HMRC are a joke, even if you're below that figure they take tax that has to be claimed back as its wrongly deducted.  Inflation is supposedly dropping, the reality in the shops is the total opposite, week on week almost, prices increase, utilities increase etc. I don't want to live under a left wing govt, if you do, suggest you try living in Russia.
    • But only the first g in garage is a "hard" g? The second one is a "soft" g whether you pronounce it "j" or (not sure how to write it, but even softer, like a cross between "sh" and "j"?) So surely Malumbu's hard g in Farage would be like the first g in garage, not the second one? I can't believe I am wasting my time writing this irrelevant drivel 🤣
    • I'm currently on a little mission to recommend Jovaner, who I've recommended here before, and who has done lots of work for me over the years. The scope of works he can take on, and his skills, have expanded over the years. He now comfortably undertakes full house renovations, including bathroom and kitchen fit outs (he is currently doing my bathroom as we speak). He is a talented carpenter, tiler, plumber and decorator, and has the highest standards of any tradesperson I've every worked with (have a look at the kitchens and furniture that my company - West & Reid - makes for a frame of reference for my standards, if I say so myself! 🙂 Jovaner always meets and goes beyond my expectations. There aren't many people as multi-talented as him, and very few with such high standards. He is the first person I turn to when I need work done in my house - I've waited 6 months for him to do my bathroom, as he was the only person I wanted to do it. I wouldn't hesitate to get him to renovate my entire house if it needed it!  He is also the hardest working person I have ever met, and completely trustworthy, as I am sure multiple other recommendations on this site will attest to.  If you are wondering why I'm going to so much trouble to recommend him it's simply because he's so good, and every time he does a new job I am reminded of how good he is. But he constantly undersells himself, underprices his work, and has such attention to detail and such high standards that he rarely earns what he deserves for the work he does!  His number is 07429171373.  Happy to chat to anyone who wants the recommendation in person (07745553232) Malcolm
    • Our neighbour sent a pic of the fallen tree across the end of the bridge. its a HUGE tree-made me feel sad to see such a giant fallen. Odd though theres been no storms or anything
