The Citadines Apart'Hotel at 53 ter Quai des Grands Augustins,in Saint-Germain-des Pres, was a perfect place to stay, for our first visit to Paris. The Seine is right across the street, it is very close to Pont Neuf and Notre Dame, it is right across from Ile de la Cite, the Louvre is just across the river, as is Musee d'Orsay. There is a Metro/RER station very close-by. Did I say it is a very modern apartment hotel on the inside, it was perfect. We booked this as part of an AirTransat Vacations package for 4 people. It was about the same cost, per person, as a hotel, but we had a modern, well equipped kitchen. The package included a cruise on the Seine, and shuttle service from and to the airport. The shuttle service was worth its weight.., and some of the hotel packages do not include this service.
The 'flying buttresses' of Notre Dame were just down the street.
The Louvre was just across the Seine( Inside the glass pyramid on the way out. We had to climb the stairs so we could get our picture taken.
Pont Neuf ( the new bridge) is the oldest bridge in Paris. They are doing some renovation work on it at present. Our hotel was just off the bridge on the right side of the picture.
The Metro and the RER are great to use, and it seems that you are never far from a station.
