Would appreciate the names of any bike friendly hotels(i.e bikes in rooms or locked storage areas) in Paris.
Location doesn't make much difference, Names, phone #s or web address if possible

I stayed at Hotel Castex in the Marais district in early June. www.hotelcastex.com I had e-mailed them in advance to determine whether they were bike friendly and they responded quickly and positively. A single room was 110 euros per night. My bike was in a softcase and I brought it in my room with me. If it had been built up I think they would have preferred me to leave it in their "garden". This was an enclosed area with no other access but through the hotel and past reception and it was on the ground floor. So while other hotel guests could get at your bike, they would first have to pass the reception staff. The main challenge with getting the bike to your room is the small elevators and small hallways. My room was on the ground floor, so it was quite simple.

Enjoy your trip to Paris.
