Fun fact: Monday is Bastille Day in France! And do you know what that means?

Well, to us, it means we get to celebrate someone else's National Holiday just as soon as our July 4th hangover has passed. But unfortunately we spent so much money on beer last weekend that our wallets are hurting more than our heads. Quite a dilemma, isn't it?

No problem. Eurostars Hotels has us covered: the Eurostars Panorama in the middle of Paris has just undergone a remodel and will be open for Bastille Day for a totally sweet rate of 83 Euros for Monday night.

Oh, and they throw in Free WiFi and a fantastic location too. Um, what's French for "we're so there?"

Eurail Hotel Stop: Near the Gare de l'Est Station in Paris

Every Eurailer's gonna stop in Paris, right? And it's a big city with plenty of train stations, but the Gare de l'Est station is a common one for Eurail routes, especially those heading to Luxembourg or Germany.

The Mercure Terminus Est is literally just across the road from the train station, so if your bag's heavy and your French isn't good enough to catch a taxi, it's a good place to head for.

This Mercure's got 199 rooms, Wifi, a fitness gym and sauna. It serves a lot of business travelers, too, but if you book ahead and stop by over a weekend, rates can be as low as 98 Euros ($135), although breakfast is an extra 14 Euros. Some travelers complain that service is a bit on the unfriendly side, but this is a common enough complaint about Paris.

The other bonus is that if your train is heading in or out of the Gare du Nord station instead, this is also just a five minute walk away.
