Nice hotel run by women. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I thought it was quite far out myself but some of the reviews state that it's actually quite good for transport I'll have another look but Mrs Ned is quite set on that one ☹ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Rome recently and stayed in a similar area - like you say the restaurants were full of locals - it felt a bit more gritty! And we used the buses to get into town which was an adventure in itself Despite having been to Paris I don't know it well enough to judge that particular part of town though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I haven't stayed in La Defense but from what I remember it's at the end of what is called Voie Triomphale, a long straight line route from Place de Concorde, along Champs d'Elysee through the Arc de Triomphe and out to the square arch. IIRC it's the business district full of glass edifices and shopping malls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

App was useful for queue times but not always that accurate. Only paid for 1 fast pass as we couldnt be arse waiting for one thing the bairn wanted to go on (was only £5) the rest of the time queues were max 30 mins (unless you want a go on the smaller kids stuff).

Best Western Plus Suitcase Paris La Défense. +33 1 41 32 11 01 https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZQxgahGsi1wGqQSg7 So that hotel is where we ended up and while I probably wouldn't rush to recommend it I'd certainly use it again myself - the nearest station was about 5 minutes away and we could be in the city centre in next to no time (got a Navigo card which was well worth it but required a photo etc) Paris itself was awesome, did all the usual but sitting having a couple of drinks next to the river was a wee highlight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
