Is this the old LP on Paris, the one with Justine? If memory serves, she does a cooking course, goes shopping for cheap duds, etc. Or is there a new one? I really like the program, but major cities deserve additional visits, preferably alternating the hosts.

Maggie,
The hotel is the Hotel de Nesle. It is in the 6th, a couple of blocks from the Odean Metro. It was a pretty nice place, I think we payed 450FF for a double including bath last November. They don't take reservations so try and arrive early. It is in a great location, lots of good restaurants nearby.
