Hi, this year i will go to food show SIAL in Paris. It is already to late to find a decent hotel in Villepinte Parc Des Exposition. I would appreciate your advice in what area to stay in Paris to be between Villepinte and central Paris. Do you know a nice hotel not far from metra station? Thank you.

HiAnywhere along the RER B.
Like the terminus Nord, just in front of the Gare du Nord, convenient and ok.

Thank you.

I hope the Fodorites in Paris can help here but would Roissy-en-France convenient for OP to get to SIAL and Paris?

I wouldn't stay at an airport hotel, although sure, there are plenty there and it would work, although I don't think particularly convenient if the hotel is just in Roissy-en-France village. You'd then have to take a hotel shuttle bus to the airport before you can get on the RER, which would be a pain, I think. The RER stations are at the airport, not in ROissy-en-France.

I would also stay within walking distance of Gare du Nord, as there are only a few stops north of there and probably not where you'd want to stay (one is the stadium and another Le Bourget airport). There is Courneuve-Aubervilliers and Aulnay-sous-Bois, also, but most hotels in those places aren't going to be a short walk to the RER station. The only one very close in Aubervillers isn't that nice (Pasteur). The other stop is not someplace I'd recommend, it has a lot of factories and I think has a high crime rate.
