Taking my sister to Paris for her Birthday in March. Was just wondering if anyone could advise me on which hotels are good for staying at? Im flying to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport and would like somewhere that wasn’t too far from the airport but within easily travelling distance to the main city tourist attractions too like the Eiffel Tower etc.
Also, if you know a fair bit about the hotel you are recommeding, could you please give me details on the best method of transportation you would recommeding to get from the airport to the hotel (taxi, tube etc)
