We are 3 x couples going to Paris in October for 4 nights withut the kids, looking for a mid range priced hotel with character (no chains, nothing bland!! We like quirky/ arty/ contemporary design) ideally in either the Latin quarter or Marais. I've always stayed in budget ones in those areas before but we are splashing out this time- any recommendations, anyone?
Way back when (1997 - eek) and pre kids we stayed in the quirkyily named Hotel Brighton on the Rue de Rivoli opposite the Jardins de Tuileries. Proper French hotel. Rooms at the front with the better view cost more than those looking onto the rear courtyard. Sorry I'm not up on the Quarters but was a fab long lost Parisian weekend :) and well placed for getting about.

Have a look at Hotel Bretonnerie which is in the Marais. It's not uber flash but it has huge charm/character and you can go for a more upmarket junior suite if you so desired. Have had several amazing and memorable stays here over the years.

We stayed at Jules et Jim boutique hotel in the Marais last September when we went to Paris for a friends wedding...blissful 2 nights away with friends and no kids. Its a perfect location in le Marais so you can walk to everything.


The hotel has lots of art installations - a great breakfast and immaculate rooms (they are a bit on the small side buts its Paris!). It is very contemporary and has a laid back, chilled vibe. Great bar too.


Highly recommended

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
