Paris is a cosmopolitan European capital and tourism. It is not easy to find budget hotels in Paris that are decent and although there are many websites of hotels very attractive, the reality once you get to your hotel in Paris can be very different from the virtual.
Keep in mind that to find a cheap hotel in Paris, you have to choose a minimum of 4 stars. That vision or mindset that exists in Spain: “Provided that the hotel is simple and clean enough is enough” to Paris is not valid.

La Sainte Chapelle is considered a jewel of Gothic art. Built in the heart of the Palais de la Cité (Conciergerie), its history goes back to the thirteenth century, when the future King Louis IX, Saint Louis of France, built a chapel to save the relics of the Passion of Christ. In 1239, after two years of negotiations, Louis IX had purchased the emperor of Constantinople, the crown of thorns of Christ for a considerable sum, and in 1241, a piece of Santa Cruz from Byzantium. That’s why we decided to build a decent place to preserve these treasures. Continue Reading →
