But I keep returning to Brussels because the people are so adorable and the whole country does not take itself seriously (so refreshing compared to so many of our other countries). That gives it LOTS if bonus points in my opinion.
Brussels got a great vibe imo. Takes some time to pick it up though. |
To those who missed it the OP said in the 4th sentence that he is the UNCLE of the nieces..
Sturion, I hope you have a great trip and I would love to read your trip report! |
My daughter really enjoyed Brussels and wished she had more time there. She's been to Paris and several other European cities, so she has a good basis for comparison.
Take a look at SnapTravel.com and look for Adagio aparthotels there. I've seen some great deals. Just keep in mind that a "double" bed may be very narrow indeed. |

The Marais is very gay, lots of expensive boutiques and chic cafes.

try Hôtel Collège de France Paris - 5ème Arrondissement - Site Officiel in the Latin Quarter. You may also look in the Montparnasse area, everything accessible by metro and the prices are lower...and how you spend your vacation is your business.. enjoy

Some Paris Youth Hotels may be amenable to you - check out UCRIF and others for private rooms - if really on a budget may work.
