Where to stay
Le Marais in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements for a first visit: you're on Métro lines 1 and 11, ten minutes' walk from Notre-Dame, and surrounded by the best falafel-and-wine-bar density in the city. Budget €130–220 per night for a decent three-star. Saint-Germain-des-Prés if you want quieter streets and bookshop mornings, at €180–300.
