Hôtel Caron

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Footsteps from delightful place du Marché Ste-Catherine, this is a solid midrange hotel with comfortable (if smallish) minibar-equipped rooms. Soft natural hues give its 18 double rooms instant appeal and the L’Occitane bathroom products are a sweet-smelling touch. Breakfast (€14) in the cream-stone, vaulted cellar is a highlight.
