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

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
