Heres some pointers ....
try www.kayak.co.uk to find some flight prices as it compares the whole market. you can specify a whole array of things to get a variety of prices.
In terms of the hotels, near the Eiffel tower is pricey. Use www.hotelscomparison.com to get some idea of prices. If you're feeling brave, you might wanna use www.priceline.co.uk to get bargain but make sure you read the threads on here to get some advice first. Hotel reviews are on www.tripadvisor.co.uk
By the way, I'm off to Paris next weekend (for the 4th time) and I'm staying at the Novotel Tour eiffel which I managed to get on Priceline for £70 a night compared to over £100 a night elsewhere. The hotel has mixed reviews but I usually try and spend as little time as possible in the hotel and more time out and about.
Have fun hunting.If you found my comment helpful, please click the 'Thanks' button below :T0 -

For hotels, I'd recommend doing a search on venere.com - really helpful website with lots of good maps/reviews, and reasonable prices too (which you also don't have to pay in advance)
PM me if you want a 4% discount code.
I think it's a good idea to check out this website even if you find hotels cheaper elsewhere, as the descriptions and maps are generally better than other sites in my opinion.
Hope that helps
PS - I'm not connected to this website in any way, and I don't gain anything from this post. I also found the discount code on another forum.0
