Please note OP's plea:
3. Please *do not* top the superthread. It would be better to consider adding to it a topic that has not yet been previously discussed (as this will automatically bring the superthread to the top and enrich it).

Paris 2* Hotel List +/- 100&euro;

Author: Travelnut
Date: 09/30/2006, 10:11 am

http://paris-eiffel-tower-news.com/d...aving-list.pdf

This pdf file was emailed to subscribers (free) of the http://paris-eiffel-tower-news.com website.

It lays to rest once and for all the question of decent/central rooms in Paris for the approximate price of 100&euro;/double. Not all of them will pass 'muster' re: Tripadvisor comments, but many will. No, not many located in St Germain des Pres. (there are many other areas of Paris with decent neighborhoods and location, yes it's true ;) ). I noticed quite a few hotels with reasonable prices for triples and quads as well. You have to open each hotel website to get that detail, but at least the list is all pulled together for you and organized 3 ways (alpha, price, location).

Kudos to the author for his efforts!

Night owls might want to take a night time tour of the Paris Metro on the old, restored trains. Tickets cost 57 euros, and tours are given in French.

I found this site has numerous performances throughout France, including Paris of course:
http://www.evene.fr

Once you find the performance you want, you can look at the venue's web site to see if you can buy the tickets cheaper. For example, I found tickets at http://www.foliesbergere.com that were cheaper than what I could order through http://www.evene.fr .

<b>Tips on How to Travel to Hotel from CDG</b>

For everyone asking how to get to your hotel from CDG - do you realize that for nearly every request, someone has to do this research to give you specific advice..? Wouldn't you like to know how to do this for yourself? Here are some tips - hope you find them useful.

1. know the hotel address and find it on a map (www.mappy.com)

2. have a map of the Paris metro ready (www.ratp.fr)

3. know the options:

- Taxi direct from CDG to hotel (fares: 40-60&euro;, depending on traffic, etc)

- Shuttles (fares: 18-22&euro; each person, one way, book in advance)

- Roissybus, 8&euro; or so: DROP-OFF - rue Scribe, next to Opera Garnier area

- Air France coach: 12-13&euro; per person, one way 2 routes from CDG&gt;&gt;

Line 2= DROP-OFFS Porte Maillot, Arc de Triomphe

Line 4= DROP-OFFS Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse

- RER train (Roissyrail) to several stations in Paris - 8&euro; or so, per person, one way:

Gare du Nord, Chatelet les Halles, St Michel, Luxembourg, Port Royal, Denfert-Rochereau


From the above stations for Roissybus, Shuttles, Air France coach and RER, there are Metro connections and taxi stands

Look at the Metro map - you need to trace the metro lines nearest your hotel to the above stations


For automated advice, go to www.ratp.fr and use the Itinerary planner:

- click on Station and enter &quot;gare du nord, paris&quot; or one of the other main stations listed above

- in the 2nd box enter your hotel address, ex. &quot;123 rue bourdeaux, paris&quot;

You will be presented with choices such as departure time, mode of transport,etc.

Then it will open a window with directions, travel time, and a map


The transport passes (Paris Visite and Carte Orange) *IF ZONE 5* also cover Roissybus or RER+Metro to hotel

If you take Roissybus or Air France coach, you can buy ticket from the driver

If you take a taxi, there will be a small extra charge (ex. 1&euro;) for each bag
