Do you have a set of numbers that "relatively inexpensive" falls between? And, do you know enough about Paris to know about where you want to be located? There are a couple of people I can ask but no guarantees that they'll have any ideas. BTW, you DO KNOW that Paris is a stinking shithole in the heat of Summer, yes? Something to do with the fact that everyone's back yard was a latrine for 1,800 years before they got plumbing and Ille de France is in some sort of geological situation like a huge rock soup bowl where everything that has ever died and fallen in the goop since the beginning of time has been preserved and rots slowly. -- CL
