Sunday 10amThe good news is that The Madeleine and The Châtelet are right in the centre of Paris and there is no shortage of hotels.
The other good news is that for tighter budgets there are youth hostels (also in the centre) such as
Adveniat (Champs-Elysées), Mije (Marais) and others.
And the third good news is that you can opt to stay for free at a Parisian’s home. This is both economical and an opportunity to meet other singers or those who work behind the scenes.
