Cheap hotels in Near the Eiffel Tower
EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in Paris
Neighborhood Description
The western Left Bank's 7th arrondissement is anchored by two of the city’s most prominent monuments: the Eiffel Tower and the gilded dome of Les Invalides. Both are framed by vast stretches of open lawns. Other major tourist sights in the neighborhood include the Orsay and Quai Branly museums on the Seine, though, truth be told, this area is predominantly a diplomatic district. Its elegant mansions house foreign embassies, government ministries, and UNESCO headquarters.
The district's wide, tree-lined boulevards are calm at night, with a small pockets of cafés and shops around the Rue Cler market street and the Rue du Bac. Though by no means the social epicenter of Paris, this neighborhood is a short Metro ride to most major sights, and is perfect for those looking for a little more space than they'll find for the same price in the ritzier St-Germain-des-Prés district next door.
