A pleasant surprise -- this is no ordinary hotel. Hotel La Louisiane is an authentic piece of history in the 6th arrondissement where Sartre, Simone De Beauvoir, Albert Cossery and Miles Davis stayed. The location in my opinion is the best in Paris. If you liked how Paris was in your student days, this is your place. My room had natural light, a comfortable desk and fresh air -- the perfect place to write or do homework. You can channel your inner writer and spend the savings on the excellent cafes and brasseries in the neighborhood. Thank you to Xavier Blanchot (the owner) for preserving the hotel. We will come again.
