We have been looking at tripadvisor.com and checking the hotels. We are looking at the Castex and Residence Foch, possibly Hotel Splendid Tour Eiffel. All of these look manageable, moderate and safe. I checked with a friend who travels to Paris monthly and he stays in the Novotel near the Eiffel tower but we wanted something less modern than what we stay in at home. Haven't made reservations yet if anyone has other ideas. Connie
