The Olympics are fast approaching, and if you’re planning to attend in Paris this summer, finding accommodation might be a challenge. Popular hotels have been sold out for months, but fear not, there are still some unique and comfortable options available for your stay during the July 23 to Aug. 11 Olympic stretch.
One alternative that stands out is Viking River Cruises. They offer “Paris and the Heart of Normandy” Seine river cruises that coincide with the Olympics. These cruises start and end in Paris, with a stop in Normandy to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Although the ships won’t be able to dock in Paris due to Olympic events, they will use the port of Le Pecq, a suburb west of the city. Rates for a seven-night sailing start at $3,000 per person.
Another option is Paris Perfect, which offers elegantly furnished apartments in prime locations. These apartments are managed by a company that ensures quality and consistency across all units. For the Olympics, there is a five-night minimum stay requirement, with prices starting at $968 a night for properties like the Saint Chinian in the Seventh Arrondissement.
If you’re looking for luxury and the ability to earn or use points for your rental, consider booking with Onefinestay. They offer plush multibedroom apartments in prime locations with special concierge services for the Olympics. One option, the Rue de l’Yvette, is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a private garden, starting at $1,600 per night.
So, if you’re still looking for accommodation for the Paris Olympics, these alternatives provide a unique and comfortable stay while putting you in the heart of the action. Don’t wait too long to book, as the Olympics will be here before you know it.
