Hotel Elysee Paris Best Western / Tipps for Champs Elysee...

hi there,

me, my wife and our daughter (5months young) are spending our easter-holiday from 14-17.april in paris and booked the hotel elysee paris best western near the arc de triomphe, 1 rue brey is the adress.

the 3 reviews here are fine, did anyone stay there and like to share his experiences? would it be a space-problem to %26quot;install%26quot; our baby-travel-bed in the room?

and we are looking for any cheaper restaurants in that area for dinner (about 25-35 euro per person) which are in walking distance from our hotel. i know, it%26#39;s difficult but due to travelling with our baby we prefered a hotel nearby some attractions. and arc de triomphe and champs elysee is one for sure.

i browsed the whole forum and made some notices, but some more tipps and hints would be absolutely great :)

thanx in advance and best regards,

chris

sorry, i got one more question regarding the transportation from CDG to our hotel.

the easiest would be by taxi, bute this should be the most expensive. how much would it cost round about?

private airport-transfer would be aroound 17-20 euro per person.

and by bus? is there a bus-connection directly to that area?

regards, chris

we just stayed at the marriott on the champs, which is down the block from the arc. our taxi was 43 euros from the airport each way. if you are looking for a cheaper alturnative, i know that there is an air france shuttle that stops right in front of the arc and it is 12 euros per person.

as for resturants, a less expensive place on the champs is chez clement. it is a chain %26amp; they do have a website that you can check out.

we were just there last week %26amp; it was wonderful staying on the champs and being within walking distance to alot of things. if you are %26quot;foodies%26quot; definitely check out the food market near rue de mac mahon. i forget the exact location, but it is only a couple of blocks from the arc and it was really neat to check out.

thanks a lot, judt checked the chez clement website, looks really interesting. is it recommend to make a reservation for saturday-dinner? would it be a problem to dine there with a baby? dresscode?

regards, chris

I don%26#39;t think you%26#39;ll have any problems if you don%26#39;t make a reservation. there is actually another Chez Clement in the area. As for dress code, I would play it safe and stick to pants ( or jeans and nice shoes).

There is also another chain resturant in the area (that has several locations right there) called hippopotamus. They also have the prix fix menu for about 20 euros. They cater specfically to families/ kids.

Also, for a quick bite ( sandwiches/ pizza/ bread), PAUL on the Champs is pretty good. There are also two Quick%26#39;s and one Mc Donald%26#39;s. Below the Virgin Megastore is a Monoprix food store.
