4 days in Paris
 
I am going with my husband to Paris in mid- November for a birthday celebration. I have been once and he has never been. I loved Le Marais district and would like to stay there in an apartment-- studio or one bedroom- does anyone know of a nice, reasonable place or recommend a hotel in the area?

I rent from Vacation in Paris , The garden Delight. It ia most cinventientlocated , afew blocks fron Pl de Vosges right aronud the corner from Pl St Catherine. Directly across the st are 2 patisseries , q wine shop. a fromeagerie, asupermarka a verger and a benk nearby, ^ buses right outside the door and St Paul metro a nfew yards down the street.There is an excellent bistro on the corner Le Bouquet St Paul and they sell Berthillion ice cream. Inexpensive for the quality!!
the apt has a comfortable bed , walk in shower . all equiptment it is small but there is less to tidy up that way,

For 4 days I'd stay in a hotel and not have to worry about a thing domestic. And have the advantage of the desk to make reservations for you, or advise you, since it has been a long time.

Anyone know a nice hotel to stay in Le Marais district? -- or other recommendatin for a well- located hotel for a 4 day stay. I have been once and my husband has never been. I loved the Marais area when I was last there. Thanks

Bon Jour Carleen,
Check out Hotel Jeanne d'Arc in the Marais......rue de Jarente...right by Pl du Marche St.Catherine.
It gets good reviews on TripAdvisor.
Bon Voyage!!

Here's one on my list for my next visit:

Step to Musee Picaso, large, open plan, separated bedroom, PRIVATE TERRACE, and about $120/night. 2-night minimum.

We ended up getting a hotel usingour airmiles and unfortunately there were no Marais area hotels available-- but we are saving quite a bit of $$.

Now I am organizing our metro and museum passes and leaning toward a combopass.

My husband and I want to walk up the Eiiffel tower but every site I go to is for a tour- and on the Eiffel tower site you can only buy Elevator tickets.

Anyone know how to buy walking tickets only, no tour? I know that we can only walk to the 2 nd level and then have to take the elevator to the 3 rd level.

Stair entrance tickets for the ET are not sold online.
