Le Kyriad Prestige, Paris Ouest Boulogne
The 3-star Kyriad Prestige Paris Ouest Boulogne is quietly located in the fashionable suburb of Boulogne St Cloud, the last stop in Metro Line 10, with central Paris easily accessible within about 45 minutes. The hotel provides a high standard of comfort and accommodation and represents excellent value for money. Facilities include a bar, terrace, fitness suite as well as comfortable air-conditioned bedrooms with private shower/bath, TV and telephone. This area of Paris is a fashionable place to live and has plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars to suit most tastes. There is also one of Paris' hidden gems a few minutes' walk from the hotel in the form of the Albert Kahn Museum, which show a display of the great social recorder's photographs commissioned in the early 20th century and featured in a BBC series a few years ago.
The newly-refurbished and very stylish 3-star Du Cadran Hotel enjoys a terrific location in the stylish 7th district between the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides on a quiet side street. This lively bustling area with lots of specialist foodshops, bars, cafes and restaurants, is quintessentially Parisian and a wonderful place to stay. Facilities at this small (34 room), friendly hotel include a bar and stylish, modern rooms with private bath/shower, TV, telephone, safe, hairdryer and minibar.

I liked the balance between our independence and the structure of the guided walks. Richelle Sheppard was/is excellent - we had four tours in one; Gastronomic, History, Architecture and Art and she kept our attention at all times - quite an achievement given our ages and the temperature we were stood up in. I wish I could have recorded all that Richelle had said as I will not remember most of it. We will certainly look to do something like this again when our legs have recovered!!
