B&B Or Hotel within 45 minutes of Paris CDG

That would include pretty much anything in the northern side of Paris. I don't have a specific recommendation, but I hear that the last four winners of the Best Baguette in Paris competition come from the 18e. Sounds like there's something in the water there worth checking out.

You might try the big hotel french hotel chain www.accorhotels.com. They have many hotels at diff levels of comfort. the website has a great map of their locations all over europe as well as France. You can reserve online and they have parking .

Thanks, great idea

If forty-five minutes is an absolute, your only choice is right at Nord. The Accor crowd, as JS said, is the best option - - there's an Ibis right across the street. Here's the logic. The ride on the RER B from Nord to Roissy is thirty-five minutes. It takes you five minutes from when you crack the door at Nord to get to the platform. Assuming you already have a ticket in your paw and the train will depart the second you step aboard, you have five minutes to get from the hotel to the station. There's no time to make a metro change, you can't walk from the closest corner of the 18th Arrondissement to Nord even in ten minutes. If you try to stay further south on the B line, the journey becomes too long. If you try to go one stop north, you're up around the stadium which is a bit dismal. Make it an hour or a bit more and you start to get some wiggle room.

I'm with Ed. You don't say if you've already been to Paris during this trip, but no matter - "Paris is (always) worth a Mass", or something ;-) Methinks a "sight of some sort" could be an Eiffel Tower, a Seine, a crepe... Turn that car in the night before.

Nuts, got so involved with the timing I forgot about the car business - - which had to do with Nord as well. What Eileen said, get rid of it, which you can probably do at Nord. It's madness to try to find parking in the city to move around from place to place. Overnight parking is going to stiff you twenty-five euro and you'll pay for another day's rental to boot. Nord's not the very best spot to start moving around on the metro (there'll probably be a line change somewhere), but you're still not a half-hour from anything.

Stay in CHANTILLY, its only about 20 -25 minutes from CDG, you can tour the chateau in am,,
(check the website to be sure its open that day, and opening hours) then go to airport. I love Chantilly, never crowded( been 4 times) and the gardens have a little cafe that sells specialities served with of course, Chantily Cream ( sweetned whipped cream). The chateau is very nice inside, and features the second best 18th century painting collection in France outside the Louvre, and there are the Royal Horse Stables across the street.

Chantilly it is, sounds perfect. thanks to all for their suggestions
