place to stay in or near the 17th
Our son is living in Paris for a year, apt in the 17th arrondisment. This is a residental neighborhood. Which areas or hotels are nearby or close via metro? (he took all my maps!)

Pat,
If you look at the French yellow pages you can insert your son's address and then Paris 17.
http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pj.cgi?lang=en
This will show you a map or the business at that site. Then you just enter the street and see what businesses are listed there with a map option. You can also enter hotel on the business line and enter Paris 17 in the city line. Just keep track of your son's apartment.
Some of the 17th (and other residential neighborhoods) are outside of the tourist guide maps, but you should be able to find one or two!

As with most arrondisements, the 17th is huge, you really have to be more specific. There are tons of hotels in the 17th, and many are quite reasonable in cost. YOu can easily buy a map at a bookstore, if you want one (eg, Paris Streetwise).
