We haven't been there for years, but just booked flights to France in May and while we will go out to the countryside most of the time, it'd be fun to come back and have 3-4 days in Paris. In the past we've usually stayed on the L bank and never had problems = but my husband is now 88 and I think going up flights will be an issue [1 might be ok] - and I want to avoid areas where it'll be congested, touristy or unsafe. Would appreciate thoughts on arrondissements or places to stay. Merci. Victoria
