We are flying into Paris where we would like to stay two nights before taking the train to Joigny, Burgundy, to pick our canal boat. Any suggestions for hotels near Gare Bercy or Gare de Lyon? Thank you!!

There are a number of Accor hotels in and around the entry to Gare de Lyon. We recently stayed at the Mercure on the right side. It was ok. A couple of years ago we stayed at the Holiday Inn Bastile which is just across the road. Surprisingly for a chain, the rooms were nice, the brekkie was nice, folks were nice. When staying near a station and you get all 3 that's pretty good. We'll stay there again. Have you asked the Blue Book or Tripadvisor? Remember that G d Lyon has two sets of tracks, yellow and blue. It can be quite a hike from one to the other.

I can recommend the Citadines Bastille Gare de Lyon, which is a self-catering block of flats in that area very close to Reuilly-Diderot metro station (one stop away). You can book through www.citadines.com.
