Last-minute save!
My wife and I found French Theory when we needed a place to stay for one night. We will definitely be back -- what a great place! Fantastic staff, comfy rooms, and a great cafe (and cool gifts)! We went back for a last coffee just before I flew out. If you need a place near the Sorbonne or the Luxembourg Gardens this one is wonderful.

I’ve stayed at French Theory a few times. It’s my go-to place for Paris. It’s walking distance to the metro and walking distance from most attractions. The hotel is quiet, well kept. There is a coffee shop on premise for breakfast and snacks. The facilities are clean and well maintained.
