Keep these tidbits of travel wisdom in mind when booking your hotel. They'll help you sleep better.
It's all in the timing. November through March can be the best months to visit Europe. Crowds are thinner, rates are cheaper, and you'll have a better chance of getting the most out of your trip.
Don't settle. We find deep discounts in all sorts of areas, including those you might think are too expensive for you. Search the places you'd most like to stay, and see what we can do for you.
Stay the weekend. Hotels usually target business travelers Monday through Thursday and charge higher room rates. Stay a Friday or Saturday night and you'll enjoy the full benefits of traveling for pleasure!
Believe in low prices. If you find a high-rated hotel priced more economically than a lower-rated one, snap it up! Major hotels choose us to fill their empty rooms, even on short notice. But rates change all the time, so don't wait to claim your deal.
Get the lay of the land. Read up on some of Paris' most interesting neighborhoods.
Bastille - Bercy
After a relaxing morning in your hotel, how about a stroll though Bastille & Bercy? Lots to see and enjoy here. What used to be old wine warehouses have been transformed into a variety of shops and cafés. The neighborhood also includes.
Batignolles - Montmartre - Republique
Home to the Moulin Rouge, where painter Henri de Toulouse Lautrec depicted life as he saw and lived it; the exquisite Sacre Coeur high on Montmartre; and the city's most famous flea market, Puces de Cliganancourt.
Champs Elysees - Opera Quarter West
It may not be as glamorous as it was before the advent of car showrooms, fast-food, and shopping arcades, but then there's still the Lido. A mix of old world and trendiness, the avenue is still one of the most popular avenues in Europe.
Eiffel Tower - Grenelle - Montparnasse West
Not only is the Eiffel Tower Paris' most famous attraction, the area surrounding it is a veritable cultural haven where the likes of Hemingway and Fitzgerald used to haunt the neighborhood cafés.
Opera Quarter East - Les Halles
The Louvre, considered by many to be the world's greatest museum of art, is the main attraction in this Paris neighborhood. It's here that you can scrutinize Mona Lisa's smile or study the perfection of the Venus de Milo.
St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse East
This is the intellectual heart and soul of Paris. The bohemian St. Germain is full of bookshops, galleries, bistros, and coffeehouses. Here you'll find the 60-acre Jardin du Luxembourg.
