 Relais Bosquet by Callavetta
On my early visits to the City of Lights, I preferred staying in the very popular, very crowded and very busy Latin Quarter. Today I find I feel much more "at home" in this charming area, just down the street from Rue Cler, and a 10 minute walk from the Eiffle Tower.
Relais Bosquet offers very comfortable, pleasantly attractive rooms with very modern, luxurious bathrooms. Front rooms have windows opening onto Champs de Mars and a view of the top of the Eiffel Tower. From my bed I can watch the twinkly lights.
Breakfast is offered, for a price, but the morning smells of the boulangerie right next door wake me and beckon. A block away is the famous Rue Cler market street with an assortment of cafes, shops, and interesting things to see and do.
Parisians live in this neighborhood. They shop in the little specialty shops, they eat in the brasseries, they stop for a drink at the cafes. While there is no paucity of tourists in the area, it's completely unlike the Latin Quarter and area around St. Germaine. It's not busy and noisey and bustling like the neighborhood near the Louvre, the Opera House and the big department stores. I love the feeling of "coming home" at the end of the day. There is no shortage of excellent restaurants in the neighborhood.
Also, the staff is exceptionally welcoming and helpful. There is also free internet in the reception area.
The hotel has also added two apartments to choose from, in the neighborhood. They look wonderful and I will try to stay in one of them on my next visit.

Recommended to me from a travel guide, Hotel Relais Bosquet was in a popular (though very touristy) area, had a professional and helpful staff, was very clean and fairly modern (it's rated 3-star).
I stayed here for a couple of days in early Sept. 2001 & I liked it. Best part is to wake up before dawn in a higher floor room and watch Paris and the Rue Cler come to life.
If you work hard and research, I think you can find an equivalent hotel in Paris for the same or less money (maybe not in this specific area, however). Knowing what I know now, I would rate it 7 on a scale of ten, but I recommend it especially if you are a Ricknik and like hanging out with all the other Americans on the Rue Cler.
Location. Rue Cler market street is one block up Champ de Mars.
Staff: Professional, helpful.
Rooms: good. Clean, well-furnished. Bathrooms are very nice.
Even though this area has become overun with american tourists, it's still very beautiful at dawn looking out your window watching the remaining Parisians wake up in their neighborhood.

| Hotel Relais Bosquet: Nice surprise for First trip to Paris

We found this hotel by reading a review from this site on my cell phone on the train arriving from Heidelberg. This was our last night in Europe, and we wanted to be close to the Eiffel tower so we would not be wasting time in taxis. When I called them on the phone to see if they had a room, they confirmed that they did and we never discussed price. When we arrived several hours later and checked in, I confirmed that they gave me their internet rate, which was about 20e less than the price they had posted at their door. The room was excellent. Quiet, air conditioned, comfortable and very clean. The bathroom was superior, and we got a good nights sleep. Being on the ground floor, which they told me about when I called, there was no view, but it was just what we wanted. It is truely a ten minute walk from the tower, which is how we got there, and we found a nice cafe just up the street for dinner. I was completely satisfied, and would recommend this hotel anytime. We also had a nice breakfast in the morning, although it is not clear to me if we paid extra or it was included, because they were not sure either. I am certain if you book ahead you could make a better deal, but you would not be happier.
Walking distance to Eiffel Tower, easy access to dining, very clean, comfortable, friendly staff, no surprises, and great first time Paris experience. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averagePhone: 33(0)1 47 05 25 45Website: hotel@relaisbosquet.com

Paris Again
How is it that each visit to Paris can be better than the previous ones? We took a one and one-half hour flight from Dublin to CDG, arriving in Paris in the late morning. By the time we got to the baggage claim area, our bags were waiting. We walked directly to the Air France Coach shuttle going to the city center and were at our hotel in record time for Paris. Never smoother.
We stayed at Hotel Relais Bosquet, a three-star hotel in the 7th district. You can really see the difference a few dollars makes when upgrading to a three-star from our usual two-star hotel. Our room was a record setting size, complete with electric shutters to block out the street noise and lights. Wow! We had a view of the Eiffel Tower from our room. Three blocks left from the hotel is the Champ de Mars Parc, with the Ecole Militaire complex on one end and Le Tour Eiffel at the other. One block right of the hotel is the Rue Cler, once a bustling street market and now just as full of trendy cafes. Breakfast was 13 Euros extra, so we went down two doors to the Boulangerie Artisanale, where we were well satisfied with quiches, chocolate croissants and baguettes.
We toured the Le Orangerie museum, which has recently reopened with an entire floor of Monet’s water lilies painted on circular walls. While we were in Paris, the city had fans from all over the world for World Cup Rugby (Coupe du Monde 2007). The best group was the Scotsman, who all wore their kilts to show their national pride. Friday after dinner we walked through the Champ de Mars Parc under the colorful lights of the Eiffel tower, where dozens of folks were having picnics with lots of wine bottles on the grass. Very nice scene we will do next time. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average
