Cheap hotels near Rue Cler in Paris, France

Ah, rue Cler, you postcard-perfect street, you! Walking down this lovely little street, nestled into the 7th arrondissement near the Eiffel Tower, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you'd just been transported to a picturesque French village on market day, lined as it is with fruit stands, fish sellers, cafes and crepe stands.

Well, except that you'd probably also notice the tourists strolling the main pedestrian block, guidebooks in hand. Still, the street, and the surrounding blocks, are storybook Paris, and locals really do live and shop here. Lucky devils.

Finding a budget hotel around the rue Cler is possible, and indeed we have some recommendations on the block and around the corner. It makes a lovely and calm base from which to explore Paris. Note that these hotels fill up quickly and the entire neighborhood gets pricey during the high season. Book well in advance.
