Hotel Britannique
"This is a lovely "old" hotel with a great location. Small, rattling elevator (1 person, 1 suitcase at a time). Smallish room. Guess those are the Parisian norm. Helpful staff. Paid the extra for a balcony but weather was either too hot, or too cold, or rainy to use it but it made for some nice pics. ..."
