Cadran Hôtel

St-Germain & Les Invalides


The Cadran is a bright and cheerful, midrange hotel a hop and a skip from market-busy rue Cler. Contemporary rooms sport bold colour schemes, plenty of mirrors and the odd clock wall fresco or motif. Those sleeping four are superb for families, and there are several triple rooms in its second building around the corner at 16 rue Valadon. Breakfast €13.
