The Street of our Paris Hotel in Saint Germain des Près
Breakfast at our hotel in Saint Germain des Prés
This Hotel is located rue Jacob, so between the Blvd Saint Germain and the Seine River, a very central location in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés, a 6 minutes walk to "Les Deux Magots or the Café de Flore," that epidemic Saint Germain, close to Le Louvre, Musée d'Orsay (7 minutes walk), and not far from Notre Dame for instance. There you are close to everything that matters, and are surrounded by some of the most "chic," shops and art galleries in Paris.
This hotel has around 44 rooms, which is an ideal and not so common size in the ultra center of Paris. I like the middle size as it offers a very good personal care, as well as excellent security, yet I can take 10 rooms and they still have more than 30 left for all the other customers. This hotel is also very well managed and no detail or issue is ignored.
I have developed a very tight connection with the management, which offers me a few perks, and altogether I feel that it would be very challenging to find a better value in Paris very center.
The hotel will provide you with water flat or carbonated produced environmentally. A mini fridge is in every bedroom as well as a hair dryer.
Paris Hotel: Classique Single Room
Standard courtside rooms with 1 large bed (130 x 190 cm), bathroom with a stand-up shower, toilet, sink and hair dryer.

These rooms have a floor fan, but no A/C.
These is the room category included in the single accommodation supplement of the tour.
Check with me at booking if you are taking the single accommodation and would like to upgrade to a different room category, so that I may see what is available given the high demand in Paris for our dates.
Additional night, including Breakfast and occupancy tax: $335
I have 2 Single Classique Rooms reserved for this tour.
