My wife and I intend to walk all over Paris and are tossing up between Hotels in either of these both very recommended locations. I don%26#39;t suppose anyone has stayed in both these areas to compare. Anyone prepared to tip the scales?

Hi BeHappy,
I vote for St. Germain-des-Prés, it is much more central to all you will want to see and do, and you will be able to walk all over Paris from there.
I am puzzled by the attraction to rue Cler, it is a nice shopping street, but just one of many such streets in Paris, and we find the 6th to be much more vibrant, especially at night, than the 7th.
The last time I was in the 7th most of the people I passed on the streets were speaking English. The 6th is full of tourists also, but you will hear many languages being spoken, not just English.
Slowpoke

The attraction to Rue Cler is due (alas) to Rick Steeves.

The 7th gets dissed because of Rick Steves and %26quot;lots of Americans stay there%26quot; but it is a quiet ,convenient place to stay. We had an apt. 2 blocks off Rue Cler . Ate at few places on r.cler-French owner,Greek owner,Asian takeout. The Metro is handy-line 8 plus if you are walkers nothing is that far. We even walked to Louvre because of strike
If you want Nightlife this is probably not the area

The 7th is fine, BUT, it is NOT particularily central, the 6th is much more so, and , it is quiet at night, as in dead ( except for RS road)
I stayed in serveral arrondissmonts and the 6th ( St Germain ) is definately a favorite of mine.
