When we travel on our honeymoon this September and early October, our flight home will be from Paris. We are arriving in Paris a day earlier than our flight leaves, and we'll have one day and one night in the city. Our plan is to just be in Paris: do the city walk down the Champs-Elysses, eat in a Parisian Cafe, and of course go to the Eiffel Tower. Our question relates to a hotel in the vicinity. We are not sure what would be the best neighborhood for a day on foot in Paris. Perhaps Rue Cler or the Marais neighborhood? Does anyone have a specific hotel to suggest? Thanks in advance for your input!

Since it is your honeymoon and you have such little time, why not stay in the St-Germain-des-Prés / Latin Quarter area, very close to the RER stop at Saint-Michel or Luxembourg? That RER stop puts you directy on the train to CDG airport the next day. You would be very close to Notre-Dame and the Seine, in a vibrant neighbourhood. Easy walk to Ile Saint-Louis, the Marais, and the Louvre. A quick hop to the Eiffel Tower. There are many very nice cafes & restaurants along the Boulevard Saint-Germain and surrounding streets. Hotel Littré would be a nice choice.

Hotel Lutece on Ile St Louis looks very nice with a perfect location. Great little restaurant l'Orangerie is nearby as well as Berthillon.
