Note: We didn't actually stay here because it was full but we inspected the facility and would recommend it as a budget alternative to the $250 3-star across the street.

I just walked down the street instead of taking the very poor guidance from the booker in the Train Station, instead of 180 Euro it was 80 in a business hotel

Venere.com has very nice search functions, maps, booking with a 'my Reservations' feature that makes it easy to monitor, cancel, and find information. The best we used although Paris35 (See Hotel Aviatic in this section) is developing a similar interface. They don't have all the hotels but the site is a good place to start.
Please note the summary is incomplete at this time but listing will be added for the RON (remain overnight) location listed in the May 15, 2008 post. Thanks for your patience. Visit us again for a location that interests you.

First Step Success
Security check was uneventful and everything seems to be in order for the flight from Minneapolis (MSP) to Paris - Charles DeGaulle (CDG)
Our schedule is to leave Minneapolis at 3:30 this afternoon and arrive at 7:20am (Paris local time) tomorrow morning. We have a bit of a wait for the TGV (fast train) to Avignon in southern France. We are going to see if we can go earlier but if not maybe take the local regional train, RER (see map), and go to Paris for a few hours before catching the train south to Avignon. We know the TGV goes to Gare De Lyon and that is pretty close to where we go anyway. The RER from CDG goes to Paris Nord and from there it is just a hop to downtown (St Michel-Notre Dame).
