Paris Advice..... Merci!

I wondered if there are any Paris experts out there (Jimmy_7500 Whistle ) who could offer a little advice?

I'll be in France with the wife soon and was hoping to drop in to Paris for a couple of nights, however, we'll be avec RRS! We're looking for any recommendations for hotel/parking fairly close to the usual attractions. A mid-line hotel would be ideal (say up to €200 BnB double) but they key is parking safely and conveniently. We'll be cramming in a few touristy things therefore would like to be fairly central.

Any advice would be appreciated.

James, look in the 7th district, lots of nice 3 star hotels around there, in fact one called Relais Bosquet, it's on Avenue Bosquet, by Ecole Militaire, 5 mind walk to the Eiffel Tower and close to everything......it's the Holland Park almost of Paris.....

About 130 euro a night, stayed there many times over the years when working there....

If you're in the area Willi's wine bar is great for a drink or a meal. Owned by an ex-pat Englishman, it's usually a good mix of English & Parisiens.

James,
We have good friends who live in Paris and they took us to the roof bar/gardens on the top floor of the Raphael Hotel (located not far from the Arc de Triomphe in avenue Kléber).
Its tucked out of the way, but offers some great views over Paris whilst you sip your wine/champagne/coffee.
Well worth taking a look if you can. Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
