MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE GOING TO PARIS IN SEPTEMBER 2000 FOR TWO WEEKS. WE WOULD LIKE ACCOMODATION IN THE LATIN QUARTER. HAVING DIFFICULTY IN FINDING A TWO STAR HOTEL,ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS FOR RENTING A STUDIO APARTMENT?

JUST TO CLARIFY : <BR>THERE ARE MANY 2 STAR HOTELS WE WOULD LIKE TO STAY AT , BUT THE RESPONSES ARE ALL THE SAME : "WE HOPE TO RECEIVE YOU A NEXT TIME" <BR> <BR>SO NO LUCK YET AT FINDING A HOTEL FOR THAT PERIOD.

--- <BR>Vanessa: <BR> <BR>I haven't used their services however found an interesting website called www.untours.com - phone no. is 888-868-6871. <BR> <BR>They describe themselves as "Un Tours" as they provide you accommadations in apartments - minimum is 2 weeks and can add on in weekly increments. In addition to the apt, they also provide transportion or escort from your arrival to the apt and "support services" - sounds like info on what to see, do, or any other helpful info you may need. <BR> <BR>Maybe this might be what you have in mind.

September is a very busy month in Paris and it's way late to be booking rooms for next month. Elaine posted a wonderful, long list, of websites for acquiring hotel rooms in Paris under "Best Site for Paris Hotel Res?" You may want to find that message and try some of those sites. A good start, though, might be to enter your dates at www.expedia.com and see which hotels come up with availability, then shop a few at other resources for rates (rates at Expedia are often the best, but not always).

For an apartment, try: <BR>http://www.albany.net/~nracnyfr/parisapt.html <BR>http://www.citadines.com/ <BR>http://www.apartmenthotels.com/ <BR>http://www.britishtravel.com/britishtravel/parisfla.htm <BR> <BR>For a hotel, try: <BR>http://www.franceway.com/hotels/ <BR> <BR>and do the search for elaine's list! <BR> <BR>Good luck; as pointed out, this is a busy time in Paris. You may have to either pay more than you'd like, or stay outside the center of Paris. <BR>

My husband and I plan to rent an apartment in Paris in December. Do check out the sites listed here (I looked at many of them). Just be aware that individual property owners often offer their apartments through multiple sites, with different pricing and terms. So be thorough!
