Re Paris hotels, there are some great places listed in the ziner hotel database (go to links to access it). Lots of folks like the Hotel de la Bretonnerie in the 4th - it's nice and reasonable. I've stayed in the 6th district at the St. Paul which I loved (see review in the database), but I'm sure all the places noted on the database are terrific for the price. If the dollar is still high in France, your daughter should have no trouble finding a nice place within her budget, and just about all the small charming hotels include breakfast. Check out the france.com web site for the french hotel reservation system. They seem to have alot to choose from in just about every area and price range.

Happy travels! vanessa cutchogue, ny
