A relative will be in Paris Christmas week (last minute plans)and, not surprisingly, is having a hard time finding a hotel- 2* preferably. Anyone have any suggestions? --Off the beaten path or otherwise.
Thanks

Not off the beaten path, but you might try the Hotel de France on the Boulevard de la Tour Maubourg in the 7th.

What days does the relative want?

The usual sites to suggest are:
www.lastminute.com
www.ratestogo.com
www.laterooms.com
www.hrs.de

And with extreme care and study, possibly Priceline or Hotwire. See Betterbidding.com .

Hotel du Lys, in the 6th, very near the 5th.
