My boyfriend and I are going to spend the weekend in Paris and we are looking for a cute, very French, inexpensive hotel to stay in. Does anyone have a favorite spot? a residential area would be fine.

Pretty much you will get various replies. But one thing you should repost with "Paris" in the heading. This forum is not just the Paris forum; it's the Europe forum and no one knows what city you are referring to with your current heading. That could be why you have not gotten any other replies yet.

Also you need to specify what 'inexpensive' means to you because your version might be different from someone else's.

It entirely depends on when you're going.

I've stayed at The Hotel du Champ de Mars, it's a boutique hotel very close to the Eiffel Tower in the 7th near Rue Cler. It's quaint, comfy and very close in. They book up quickly though, so if you're going in the next few months they may be full. Usually runs around $100/night.

FYI, Paris doesn't have many B&Bs. If it's a hotel you're looking for, you need to re-post your query and specify hotel rather than B&B.

There are B&B's in Paris

http://www.parisbandb.com/ (seems to have a very nice choice listing...)

and others listed on the web as well if you search "B&B Paris";

In fact, Paris tourist's board is trying hard to generate that accommodation possibility
