We just returned from a three night stay at the Jeu de Paume. We reserved an upgraded room and were in room 206. This room had a king size bed (actually two twins together), TV, two stuffed chairs and a closet. We paid 230 Euro. The room was very clean and had a window opening onto an outside courtyard… great fresh air. The room was 12×12 foot ( I stepped it off). The bathroom was great, all marble and very clean. The king sized heated towel bar really helped dry out our socks and under garments when we did wash). There were other guests in the hotel and I could occasionally hear muffled phone conversations… but nothing at all bothersome. The days we were in Paris, the temps were 16C/ around 60F. When we got back to the hotel at night, it was warm in the room, making me think that summers may be unconfortable. I have no idea if there is air conditioning, opening the window was enough to cool it down. The staff were great… always very freindly and helpful. We spoke essentially no french and they were always gracious to us. When we asked for some information on train reservations, the guy on duty dropped what he was doing, logged into a web site and pulled up all the information, showed us teh best trains and printed the schedules out for us… way more that we expected. Breakfast was pricey, but we were on the “trip of a lifetime” so indulged in the luxury. The lobby and public areas were very nice, interesting, comfortable; the building is very historic. The location is *fantastic*… Ile St. Louis is a quiet little neighborhood of restaurants, shops. It was so great to linger over a late dinner and have a short stroll home. Berthillon Ice cream isn’t the best in Paris, it is the best in the world :) and it’s about 10 doors down the street. It is a short walk to either bank or to Notre Dame.
We are already planning to go back again!
