...well kind of. Just waiting on the i's to be dotted and the t's to be crossed and it looks like I'll be heading to Paris for 3 - 4 days per week for the next 6 months and potentially a lot longer.

If things go to plan I'll be there 2 - 3 nights per week, initially (and probably permanently) staying in hotels.

This is after swearing to never work for a French company again, and never to return to Paris!

I'll be working on Boulevard Ney. Immediate thoughts / help required from follow PHer's:

- recommended nearby hotels. Preferably sensibly priced, ideally within walking distance and with free wi-fi and a gym. My French is atrocious, so English speaking too.

- if no free wi-fi, what is the best way to get mobile data (will potentially need it a lot as still working for a different UK based client on a part time basis). Is there a T-Mobile web and walk equivalent, although getting a contract phone with no permanent french address might be tricky?

- any regular UK - Paris commuters? Do you normally fly or use the tunnel?
