Thanks to a tip from Budget Travel, the Parisian hotel Le Général is showing some very reasonable rates this summer.
Paris in the high summer season is never a very frugal experience, but Le Général is trying to give travelers to the French city a budget leg-up with falling rates.
Located near the République, this quaint hotel usually offers a standard double room for €185 per night, but right now a standard double in July is a mere €140, with a single at €120.
Now there is simply no reason not to do Paris up right.
Right now you can book your San Francisco, California getaway and save.
