We have a walking trip planned in Brittany in early June, followed by meeting ex-pat friends in Nice to celebrate our 50th anniversary. However, circumstances may prevent our rendezvous in Nice and we may end up in Paris for our 50th.
Can anyone recommend an appropriate hotel and restaurant for a nice, but not over the top, celebration for just the two of us. I'm good with up to €1,000/night for hotel, sadly ruling out the Ritz. For dinner, nothing pretentious, just good food and smart casual dress code, not coat and tie. Don't really care what part of town but need to taxi to CDG fairly early for departure.

I was able to do this in Paris via a broker for a flat fee, I think 75 Euros, and paid the rest to the owner onsite, but that was 10 years ago. I'm not finding any similar options today.

Anyone have experience with other methods of booking apartment stays for longer periods?
