To all who've replied so far, many thanks. I'm interested to hear more Paris suggestions and tips if anyone has them.
If that's what you're looking for, you could do worse than the Aida Opera.

This is normally quite reasonably priced (for Paris) - hint, check on
www.hotelclub.com, this is often cheaper.
Hotel is not a chain motel - individual rooms, some larger than others. Just over the road from Les Ailes, and close to loads more kosher places, including a creperie, grocery stores, milchig and fleishig restaurants - and the shuls. Best thing (for me at least) is being able to go down to breakfast in the hotel and having a kosher Pain-au-chocolat and fresh baguettes with cheese, yoghurts etc.
They have many kosher visitors and so are well aware of Shabbat restrictions - keys, electric doors etc - and will help out where required.
