If Paris is the best people-watching city on the planet, rue Montorgueil is among the very best spots in Paris for people-watching. Plunk yourself down in an outdoor table in any one of the cafés, and you've got street theater for as long as you're sitting there. Not only do you not have the noise and pollution of cars/truks/buses, but the people passing by are overwhelmingly locals on their way to work, shopping, and doing the things that they do. I stayed in the Hotel Victoires Opéra a while back -- great location (though otherwise plain for a 4*).
