Just came across this article on the Frommers website. Haven't read it through yet, but wanted to post a link here for any one interested:<BR>http://www.frommers.com/features/articles/0205_3a.html<BR>Hope it helps someone. Wish I was going!

Great article! Thanks for the post.<BR><BR>My friends stayed at H&ocirc;tel du S&eacute;jour when we were in Paris over the New Year. This is in a fantastic area and the woman who owns it is very nice- we met her.<BR><BR>The climb up the stairs is indeed steep (you'll work off those croissants) but it is indeed a great cheap find in Paris!

What does the term "American" floor mean?

To Al,<BR>I think it means the ground floor. In Europe the first floor is what Americans call the second.

for anyone wondering, the article is about hotels in Paris with doubles said to be under $80US per night

Now that I've read the article, I'm confused about the Hotel de Lille.<BR>The one in this article is on rue de Pelican. The one I've read about in other places is on rue de Lille.<BR><BR>
