Hotel in Paris
 
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.

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.
