Who doesn't love to eat while in Paris? Who doesn't love to eat near the Eiffel Tower when in Paris? The Traveling Professor has picked out 2 of his favorite spots to share on your next tour to Paris. As an extra bonus in the Paris food post, I suggest a place near the Eiffel Tower full of casual eating spots as well as markets and shops.
Everyone loves to stay in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower when they visit Paris. However, hotels in the exclusive 7th arrondissement can be expensive. In fact, everything can be expensive in the 7th arrondissement. But The Professor has done the work for you to come up with 3 inexpensive (well, relatively inexpensive) places for you to stay near the Eiffel Tower.
August in Paris can be a bit strange in that the streets, busses and trains can be relatively empty because many of the Parisians are on vacation themselves. All the museums and attractions are open, but some restaurants and shops are closed. Crowds are moderate at attractions also, but not overwhelming. The weather is warm, 80's during the day but cooler at night. Check out my blog post to see what we did on our first full day visit in Paris.
