A hotel (pretty reasonable) and a restaurant (not too expensive):

Hotel: Hotel du Palais Bourbon. About 1/3 of the way from Les Invalides and to the Museé d'Orsay if you know those locations, or just around the corner from the Museé Rodin. A block from the Metro. Roughly $60 single (rooms adequate, but not spacious) or $110 double (very spacious); rates include breakfast. e-mail [email protected]; they also have an internet site.

Restaurant: Le 6 Bosquet (which is also their address); near the Pont d'Alma. As in any Paris restaurant, eating a la carte can be costly, but using the prix fixe menu is downright reasonable (especially since tax and tip are included). A friend and I ate for ~$55@ a year ago (just ½-bottle of wine, but we splurged a bit on it); she said it may have been the best meal she's ever had.
