Blair...:
You are correct. St. Germain is a very nice area. I liked the Lennox, St. Germain, Rue Universite, a lot. Only 3 stars, nice but small rooms. Nearby Hotel Universite has 4 stars.
This time I found "Bon Marche - Rive Gauche/St,Germain/Montparnass" or so. They have a very good food department, almost like Harrods, KADEWE in Berlin or Dean & Deluca in NY and Napa Valley.
