Thanks. Looks like a great location at a good price - I've booked it!Check out the “Earth House” at solarhotel.fr for less than $100 (with all the fees) and close to transit and a train station (though it may not be THE train station you need....).
Since you will be visiting Paris before beginning your pilgrimage here are two Parisian accommodations sponsored by religious groups; the Frères Aveniat and the Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart at the basilica of Sacre Coeur.
For secular accommodation in Paris have you tried CouchSurfing, AirBnB or searched Hostelworld for individual rooms?

Do scan these earlier Forum threads for much more about pilgrim sites in Paris and the camino within Paris.
When on the parvis or place facing the Notre Dame cathedral below you underground lie Roman ruins and visible to your right across the Seine begins the medieval rue Saint Jacques which pilgrims followed to leave the city; walk it a bit and ponder history.
Take a deep breath, relax and just enjoy it! As an American who has lived 35+ years in France both in Paris and Champagne for me as Thomas Jefferson wrote “a walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life.”
Bon Chemin and Buen Camino!
PS. A good way to see a lot of Paris quickly is to take a bus tour. Check this web for various possibilities/prices.

I agree with the Adenviat, hostal in a very central location and you can get a discount for being a pilgrim! And a stamp too. It was less than 40 euro and included breakfast. I was in a semi-private room and we had our own bathroom. I walked all over and saw a lot in 3 days. Enjoy Paris! Hop on Hop off is excellent and the D'Orsay is not to be missed.I'll be arriving in Paris in early May. As I've never been there before I'll spend two nights there before taking the train to SJPdP.
I want to spend less than 100€/night, and would like to be fairly central with easy access to the train station.
Hi my daughter and I are doing the same thing in April two nights and one day to see paris we are staying at a hostel for under 100 just google it . But the big question is how to see Paris in one day .That is the problem, Good luck God bless.I'll be arriving in Paris in early May. As I've never been there before I'll spend two nights there before taking the train to SJPdP.

That's a pretty vague thing to google.we are staying at a hostel for under 100 just google it
Hotel Marignan on the Left Bank. I have stayed there many times. Last time, May 2018, it cost about 70 euro, high season for a single, shared bath. Serves a breakfast, can use the kitchen and washing machines. Close to RER/Metro stop Saint Michel/Notre Dame and two other Metro stops.I'll be arriving in Paris in early May. As I've never been there before I'll spend two nights there before taking the train to SJPdP.

Thanks. I actually found better flights from CDG. Is there a metro station at the airport?If you want to fly, you will find more/cheaper choices out of Orly rather than CDG. Can't beat the train though. Paris hotels are tough. Its expensive, and the cheaper ones are not very good. The good news is it really doesn't matter where you stay, the metro gets you around cheap, fast, and easy. Just make sure you are inside the perimeter, and there is a metro a few blocks away.
