Paris Bleg

O you traveled and worldly denizens of the Bitchosphere, would you like to give me some advice? I (and my boyfriend) am planning a trip to Paris round about next March. I've been to a lot of places in Europe, and even France, but I've been saving Paris. You see, I took French classes for oh, like, twelve years, and am kind of a Francophile generally . Articles like this one just reconfirm my belief that France is my spiritual home. They're aggressively secular! And they eat awesome food and drink a shit ton of wine! And and and!

Anyway, my current dilemma is accomodations. We're planning on going for about a week to ten days. My objective is to spend very little, while not sharing a room with other people. Hostelling is great when you're alone or with friends, but sometimes you need some privacy, know what I'm sayin'? So I'm thinking either a) cheapass hotel, b) private room in a hostel, c) rent a small studio.

Suggestions, advice, pornographic descriptions of crepes recommended.
