Short answer
The featured perfume workshop is at 7 Rue Vineuse, 75116 Paris, in the 16th arrondissement a few minutes from Place du Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower viewpoint. It is a calm, well-connected area to base yourself. Options within a short walk run from budget three-star hotels near Trocadero station up to Hilton-brand and Best Western Premier properties, so you can pick a price band and still be close enough to walk to your session.
Most people book the workshop first and sort the room later, which is the right order. Once the session is on the calendar, though, the question that follows is always the same: where should we stay so the morning is easy? The atelier sits at 7 Rue Vineuse in the 16th arrondissement, a few minutes from Place du Trocadero, and the honest answer is that the neighborhood itself is a lovely, quiet base with the Eiffel Tower view on your doorstep.
Which area should you stay in for the workshop?
Stay in or next to the 16th arrondissement around Trocadero. The workshop is at 7 Rue Vineuse, a short walk from Place du Trocadero, so any hotel near the Trocadero or Passy metro puts you within strolling distance of your session and the Eiffel Tower viewpoint across the river.
The 16th is residential and calm, which surprises first-time visitors who expect the area near the Eiffel Tower to be hectic. It is well connected by metro, so even if you choose a room a little further out, Trocadero is a quick ride. Here is roughly where the atelier sits.

How do you get from your hotel to the atelier?
From anywhere around Trocadero it is a walk. From further out, take the metro to Trocadero (lines 6 and 9) or Passy (line 6), and the atelier at 7 Rue Vineuse is a few minutes from there. The listing asks you to arrive ten minutes early, so leave a small buffer.
If you are staying across the city, budget about twenty to thirty minutes on the metro from most central districts, plus the short walk at the Trocadero end. The workshop runs about an hour and a half, so a mid-morning or early-afternoon session leaves the rest of the day free for the Trocadero esplanade, the Eiffel Tower, or the museums along the river.
Common questions about staying near the workshop
Do you need to stay in the 16th to do the workshop?
No. The 16th around Trocadero is the most convenient base because the atelier is there, but Paris metro makes the session reachable from anywhere in the city in roughly twenty to thirty minutes. Stay where the rest of your trip points you and treat the workshop as one easy metro ride.
Is the area around the workshop safe and quiet?
The 16th arrondissement is one of the calmer, more residential parts of central Paris, which catches some visitors off guard given how close it is to the Eiffel Tower. It is well lit and well connected, and Trocadero is a busy, visited square in the evenings for the tower view.
Should you book the hotel or the workshop first?
Book the workshop first. Sessions are capped at eight people and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before, so locking the date costs nothing and it fixes the one part of the trip that can sell out. Then choose a room around it.
