re: Looking at Paris at the end of October

The Westin Place Vendomme. They take Marriot points. We were in France last month. We stayed in Paris for the first four days and the last four days of the trip. For the first leg we stayed just off rue du Buci in the 6th. At the end we stayed at the Westin in the 1st. It was like staying in two different cities. The 6th has a casual neighborhood feel while the 1st has a big city feel. We love the Westin. This was our third time there and my parents have been staying there since the 1980's when it used to be the Intercontinental. It is not cheap but it is not super expensive like some of its neighbors such as the Meurice across the street and the Ritz two blocks away. I would check that one out.
