We stay at the Hotel Leveque and have never eaten their breakfast. There is a wonderful bakery on the corner of rue Cler and rue de Grenelle that has a few tables for dining in. We get two grand cafe cremes, two croissants and two petit pains for less than 8 euros. They are open for breakfast 6 days - closed on Mondays. They also offer juice, eggs and bacon for those who prefer that type of breakfast. On Mondays we eat breakfast at one of the cafes on rue Cler. Bon appetit et bon voyage!

We stay at the Muguet and have had their breakfast on some trips. It was quite complete it we wanted everything they offered. Our last trip we walked over to rue Cler every morning and sat at the Cafe Marche, read our paper and had cafe and croissant for 5E total.

We stayed at Champs du Mars and always got breakfast at the bakery closest to the hotel on Rue Cler . . . excellent pains au chocolat, very cheap! We are not coffee drinkers, so that was not an issue for us. Have a great time! My husband and I loved the Rue Cler area . . . we can't wait to return!

Dear Parisonmymind, The owners of the bakery you speak of have retired and that location is now a children's clothing store. Also, the little crepe stand that was at the entrance to the Cafe du Marche is no longer there and the Tarte Julie is now called Ullysees and there is a crepe stand there. Cafe du Marche is expanding into where the butcher was next door. Rue Cler is forever changing! We were just there in April.

Most hotel breakfasts (at 2 or 3*) in Paris can be had a euro or two cheaper outside, but I usually prefer the convenience of being able to throw coffee down my gullet along with some bread/pastries, maybe yogurt, then amble back to my room to brush, floss, primp and then hit the rue. At the Leveque (IIRC) the breakfast was basic but adequate, and had the major advantage of refills on the coffee.

My favorite Paris breakfast when I was there in March was the fabulous ham & egg crepe I bought in the street while watching the interaction of the occupants of two cars that had been involved in a fender bender.
Lots of alternatives to hotel breakfast.
