As you walk the streets of Paris you will see a lot of signs for " Hôtel Particulier". You will start drooling on the magnificence of the place and probably wonder how much it will cost you to spend the night. But you will find no vacancy at these hotels because they are not hotels. Hôtel particulier is just an expression for aristocratic residency. There is about 400 aristocratic residences left in Paris out of the 2 000 originals. Most of them are now museums or government property.
