B&B in Paris for Indian Vegetarians-3 persons-5 days

Hi

I wanted the recommendation of the members regarding stay in Paris for 5 days.

We shall be visiting Paris for the 1st time in early August 2007

We are Indians speaking English and are pure vegetarians and not even eating eggs.

We shall be on a budget so we intend to spend about 100 Euros per night for the accomdation for 3 perons

Should we go for a hotel or can we think of taking a B%26amp;B where light cooking and heating will be permitted by the owners.

Please advise and recommend some names also if possible

Thanks

This hotel allows use of the kitchen but I would call them (the receptionist is English I believe) to see what that means. I suspect it will just be the ability to boil water and perhaps a microwave but that might be all you want.

I think you should look into a cheap apartment since there are 3 of you and it is for 5 days. Then you can prepare more complex meals to suit your needs.

This is an example that sleeps 3 (one on the sofa), is available and costs about 108 Euros a day if you take it for 5 days. It has large windows over the street and over the courtyard so you will hopefully get some breeze and there is a normal sized fan. Most hotels and apartments in Paris anywhere near your price range for three would not have airconditioning.

I will definitely keep the Hotel in mind when finalising as i think it meets all my requirements

I will also email the owners to reconfirm the extent to which i can use the kitchen

I shall also be grateful if you can recommend any good B%26amp;B in the same price range, as i want to avoid renting an apartment as this is my first visit to Paris and i do not know any French.

So a B%26amp;B which will allow light cooking by the guest would be a better choice as compared to a Apartment

Thank once again

Here are a couple of links to help start your search for B%26amp;Bs. I don%26#39;t use them and I wonder how many will allow you to do much more in the kitchen than heat things in microwaves and get hot water - usually it is the owner%26#39;s only kitchen you would be using. Also, if it is essential that the B%26amp;B owner speaks English, it is best to specify that at the outset.

You might do better looking for hostels with private rooms for small groups as they often have basic cooking facilities you can use and the chance of finding English speaking staff is likely to be greater than in a Parisian%26#39;s home.

Hi Bangalore:

I rented an apartment in Paris with my Mother and Sister. Look on slowtrav.com for apartment options. I think you may have better luck staying in your price range if you rent an apartment, plus the added bonus of being able to buy and cook fresh produce from open air markets. I am vegetarian too-and Parisians do like their meat...so having a stove was helpful. There were many takeaways with veggie options though.

Good luck!
