Thanks for your responses thus far. Our plan is to find a B&B or similar accompdations in the 100-150 Euro range. We are only going to use the room for sleeping and bathing, so we need nothiong fancy. I very much enjoy speaking French with the owners and refuse to stay in anything resembling American lodging. We want to experience Paris as the Parisians experience it. Not sure if I'll find what I'm looking for at these prices, but it's worth a try.

Sincere thanks for your suggestions.
