Travelling to Paris in February

    I'm looking to fly to Paris in February and stay at a hotel close to the Eiffel Tower. It says on hotels.com that the Eiffel Tower is a 40 minute drive from Charles de Gaulle airport.

    Is there some sort of public transport and/or shuttle bus that can be taken from the airport to the Eiffel Tower area? And vice-versa.

    John

    There are a couple of ways

    1. Take the RER (B line) from the airport as far as Saint-Michel/Notre Dame and get on the RER C line and get off at Champ de Mars/Tour Eiffel.

    2. Take the Air France bus from the airport and get off at Les Invalides and get the RER C as far as Champ de Mars/Tour Eiffel

    Hi. Firstly I wouldn't stay in the Eiffel Tower area. It's nice but after you've been up in the tower, it's not as nice an area to hang out as some others. Personally I'd stay closer to 'town', perhaps in the 3rd or 4th arrondissements.

    The big thing about Paris is that it has great public transport in the Metro, so it is dead easy to get anywhere you want. Therefore its good to stay somewhere that it is nice to walk around, and then Metro to the sights. If you are on a budget, I'd let the choice of hotel dictate where you stay and then zip around on the Metro. As a default I'd stay in the Marais, as close to the river as possible and you can walk nearly everywhere. Hotels are a bit on the dear side though. I was there the weekend before last, and I stayed at Le Relais de Marais for €56/night for a single room - hotel was fine and clean if you didn't mind a tiny room.

    Anyway, Paris is great and you can't go wrong
