thanks guys - will check those out later. Sleeping 6 of us is proving tricky.

We stayed at the Hotel de l'Arc de Triomphe. The rooms are very bijoux, but we managed to get two family rooms. Breakfast was a bit of a rip off, and I'm sure you could make alternative arrangements if you needed to.

As the name suggests, it is right next to the Arc de Triomphe, so very central. We had no problems getting around or finding places to eat. However, I think it would have been even better to have a place near Notre Dame or La Louvre.

We stayed here

It's just across the road from the metro, only a few minutes to Disney (the metro takes you straight to the entrance) and about 30 mins to central Paris.

that doesn't cost a small fortune? We are going to Disneyland Paris in Feb and I'm toying with the idea of three nights there and then one night and 2 days in Paris. Or 2 nights in Paris. The children are plentiful. There are 4 aged 8, 6, 4 and 2. I'm looking for a hotel in central Paris t cut out to muych travel and maximise sightseeing. also any particularly lovely restaurants. I would like it to be a lovely French experience - they've never been abroad - other than as babies. Also the whole Disney land thing is overwhelming me. Any tips? If we arrived on a Thurs a'noon would being there til Sunday a.m. be too long?
