Does this even exist? This is for next month so before the Olympics.

Good luck with that. We just returned from Paris yesterday and the room that I found after much searching was 190 Euros plus tax per night. It was smaller than the size of the bathroom of the suite we had in Waikiki in March, and didn't even have things like a coffee maker. It was near the Gares du Nord and Est, so about 20 min bus ride from Louvre but we walked to Montmartre. The rate posted at reception went up by about 5 Euros each day, so I expect will be even more hefty in a month for sure. You may want to consider travelling in late fall or early winter, or be prepared to pay a lot. Please let us know what you find.
