We stayed in a very colourful hotel called the Beau Marchais in Rue Oberkampf which is on Line 5+9 south east of Gare du Nord and within walking distance of the Cimitiere de Pere Lachais.
Super groovy bathroom
Good shower
Idiot in groovy bathroom
Breakfast area
Lounge
Lounge at front of hotel
Great colours in room
Not sure who did the psychedelic sort of Robert Crumb on acid paintings
The proverbial spiral staircase - luckily the hotel has a tiny life - one person and bag or two people in embrace
Front lounge
Gorgeous spiral coloured porcelain
Foyer
May be repeating myself
View out window up Oberkampf - I think north
Other direction
our metro
one of the old art nouveau station entrances
Boulevard Voltaire
Our corner Brasserie - great food with man selling Normandy oysters outside. We had dinner there on the first and last evening. Charming people - all part of the theatre of eating here, an attentive waiter who gets a good tip. But the attitude to eating and dining is terrific, taken seriously, to enjoy your food is very important in Paris.
Cirque d'hiver - wow c19th famous circus

This was a good place to stay - close to metro which gets you everywhere cheaply - you can get 10 carnet for 13.70 euros - one ticket per trip. I reckon it must be cheaper than the London Oyster card which is pay as you go and you have to use it to exit so it subtracts lots.
