Median four-star nightly rates in Paris fell 9% year-on-year to €312, as the elevated 2024 Olympic comparison washes out of the data. The decline reads as normalisation rather than weakness, rates remain above their pre-Games trend.

For the traveller, the practical takeaway is that the city is meaningfully cheaper to sleep in than a year ago without being cheap. For operators, the question is where the new floor settles once the Olympic distortion fully clears the trailing twelve-month window.
