My Fiance is 40 and I've bought him some things, but want to surprise him with a couple of nights in Paris. Its got to be relatively cheap (hotel and flights) he can pay when we're there!! Anyone got any ideas or tips?
Had a look on Expedia and found some nice looking hotels, but no real idea how close to the centre of Paris

e2a: trying to remember where i stayed last....
There will usually be an accompanying map of the hotel's location on websites such as these.:)
I'd say so. As the other FM said, the Metro system is very good.
The hotels right in the centre are stupidly expensive, but there are pleny of nice ones a few train stops from the main 'strip'

....he proposed at the top of the Eiffel Tower!
The hotel was small but lovely - very atmospheric and the Tower itself is just around the corner - as are a couple of metro stations, lovely restaurants and the Seine. We spent hours walking around, soaking up the atmosphere. Perfect!
Have a fantastic time, where ever you choose!
How original!!! How did he come up with that idea??:D
Wow, how romantic, mine said "You've ruined it, you've found the ring haven't you" As he had left it next to the kettle by accident before we were going out for dinner, where i guess he was going to propose with violins and everything!!
That hotel looks lovely, and to think we could be round the corner from the Tower, wow
I told him to, of course - silly!
However one night we wanted to go to the champs elysees to eat. We caught a bus right outside the hotel and it took us directly in.
So we had a good sightsee as well
Very reasonable priced hotel.
But, if you insist on going make sure you take plenty of money because it is a very expensive city (a cup of coffee is around 4 euro!).
We stayed in La Defense and the hotel was very nice (but expensive)
I was excited for that too
Glad you liked it too - we thought it was a good deal.
Cheap as chips (went with some backpacking aussie cousins)
check out the area pretty close to Montmartre etc - nice!
It's on the green line so pretty good for everything.
Metro is good there!

Hotel France Albion
11, rue Notre Dame de Lorette 75009 Paris p. +33 (0)1 45 26 00 81
I would stay there again - and I'm quite picky (this is by far from a poshy hotel tho FYI!)
Actually... I liked the Montmartre area.
But the green line was closed down when I was there.
As was the blue...
and some of the yellow...
that looks like a dirty grin :eek:
it's close to pigalle as well - for the sexy time (and moulin rouge!)
Further out and a bit less expensive (but very accessible on the metro) Montparnasse or Canal St Martin are options.
I wouldn't go anywhere now without checking a review site like Tripadvisor UK - the two hotels suggested on here are on there. There are well over a thousand hotels in Paris listed in order of reviews (best obviously first) and you can search by area or price.
Have a lovely time!
do we know you?
Our hotel was there, we were bang in the middle of it. I was like :eek:
The sexodrome did amuse me somewhat.
As did all the "redlight" shops with their posters that were obviously made up in the 80's (lots of big hair perms!)
the 1st time you stayed there or the 5th?
The spelling is too good...
