Where to stay

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to stay in Paris?

We 2 couples) will be travelling from Ireland to Paris the end of September for the Rugby World Cup and would appreciate some advice on hotels - city central I suppose?

Its first time for all of us - we have only 1 full day to go and see everything (due to the match Sunday!) So advice on what to DEFINITLY to see %26amp; do would be appreciated!

Thanks

ohhh forgot to mention we will be on a budget .......

It would make sense for you to stay slightly out of %26#39;tourist central%26#39; but close to a metro/RER line direct to the stadium. Hotels will be cheaper in most of the double figure arondissements.

Is the match at Stade de France or Parc des Princes?

If you state your nightly budget per room it would help.

As to what to see and do, I think you need to read up on what the city has to offer and come back with specific questions. In one day you won%26#39;t see much.

Get some of the budget travel books. Rick Steves is particularly helpful and practical. We have gone to Paris twice and found his advice excellend. We like to stay in the 7th ag near Rue Cler. Have used a hotel (Turrene - ok) and rented an apartment which we really liked. The 7th is where the Eifel tower is and if you can only be there one day you might want to spend some time in that wonderful spot.

Area around Notra Damme is wonderful also. Have fun. Can%26#39;t you try to go for longer.....it is a wonderful place.
