@stcirq Agreed, but unfortunately this one is a round trip from Lucerne, through France, up through Belgium and the Netherlands, than back down to Lucerne via Germany. I generally prefer trains also but this time is different.
@Kori30 Sorry I must be missing what you found? I'm very new to this site (signed up yesterday) and the user experience of this forum is rather lacking in my opinion so maybe I'm just missing something with more information?
@onyx007 That looks like a pretty good option. Did you find it was easy access to metro rail and had places decent places to eat / drink nearby?
Ah ok I see what you're saying now. Sorry, the user experience of this forum is not very good in regards to being intuitive or easy to follow replies etc. Thanks!

Okay, how about parking the car somewhere outside of Paris for a few days while you stay in the center?
Otherwise, you'll be staying somewhere for the car's convenience, not yours.
just because I havn't seen it mentioned so far:
check a site like booking.com, where you can search for hotels and specify parking facilities, then search by map.
The Metro (and at the same place a tram stopp) is about a couple of 100 meters away.
I always got my food somewhere in the city Center, although there is a nearby small mall where you
can buy some food. But I've seen there are some restaurants and bars around that place.
There are a huge number of big chain hotels along the southern edge of Paris (notably Porte d'Orléans and Porte d'Italie) with relatively easy access to the metro.
You could stay in Massy Palaiseau, boring but safe enough, easy access from the A10 and get RER B or D into Paris. There's a coupe of chain hotels there that aren't bad - the Mercure is v close, the Novotel a bit further away, with a swimming pool. You can walk from the Mercure or park at the station if you don't want to walk far from the Novotel
