Paris in October is always a very busy period and top quality hotels are very much in demand as a number of trade fairs and conferences coincide with the Arc. Last year, we had the Rugby World Cup and this year we have the Motor Show!
Fortunately, over the years, we have built up excellent working relationships with our hotels, and have managed to secure many of our usual properties. Following our inspection visits, we are delighted to be able to offer you a wide selection of luxury hotels in central Paris, as listed below, ranging from 3 star to 4 star Palace hotels.
All of our hotels are personally inspected and, unlike other travel companies offering tours to Paris, our representatives staff each of our hotels throughout the weekend so, if you have any queries or problems, we are there to help. Our experience and professionalism will ensure that your stay in Paris is a highly enjoyable one.
