I am taking my 3 boys to Paris and would like advice firstly on a hotel for Disneyland on recommendation and Paris itself. Must be 2 bedroom apartment, self catering, close to the rail system. Has anyone had a stay at Val d%26#39;Europe Mallee ? I believe Disneyland hotel is great but very expensive? What about Paris? They tell me that the Marais area is OK WHAT DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST? Boys are 4,11 and 14. Any useful info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Australia!!

Try Vacation in Paris (www.vacationinparis.com), and search by the area you are interested in. The Marais (4th) would be fine, as would many others. Most apartments are within 2 or 3 blocks of a Metro station, so no problem with transportation. There are many other apartment sites as well - do a search on this forum and you will find many posts listing sites. (To search, type your terms in the box under the green bar at the top of the list of posts - you also can search for ideas about traveling with kids/teens, the same way - use %26quot;teens%26quot; or %26quot;teenagers%26quot; as your search term.)

Thanks for your suggestions its appreciated.Would you happen to know about Eurodisney?In particular the Disneyland Hotel that looks great but seems expensive, can anyone advise?

Sorry, I live in California so I%26#39;ve never had any inclination to visit Eurodisney. I can tell you, however, that if you want to see much of Paris it would be very inconvenient to stay there. You can do much better (in terms of convenience, and also cost) by staying in Paris and just taking one day to go out to Disneyland.
Most apartments, because they are specifically aimed at tourists, are within a block or two of a Metro station, which makes it very easy to get around if you are right in Paris (plus, many of the Paris sites you will want to visit are going to be within walking distance of many of the apartments that are most popular). Do check out some of the apartment web sites, and then check a map for the location of the place - you will quickly see what I mean about how close things are (even what looks like %26quot;a block%26quot; generally is not a very long distance - i.e, not like New York or other large cities, where ten blocks is a long way to walk).

Yes, I can advise, lol, the Disneyland hotels are ALL expensive!
You will pay dearly for the convenience of staying by Disneyland , that said I have heard the %26quot;Santa Fe%26quot; one is nice enough and not the most expensive. For a self catering apartment you will most likely have to stay outside the Disneyland world. Frankly , stay in Disneyland for two nights, splurge on a nice hotel, then move to Paris and get a nice apartment for the same price. Look up posts regarding %26quot;Paris with children%26quot; and you will find that there is lots for kids in Paris. Find an apartment near Luxembourg Park, it is wonderful for kids, and maybe one day one of you can take the younger ones to the Park and the other one could be taken to the %26quot;Catacombs%26quot; ( google that, better then the haunted house at Disneyland any day!)( not for the little one !)
My kids loved the Eiffel Tower, and climbing the bell towers at Notre Dame is fun for everyone, let the little one watch the %26quot;Hunchback of Notre Dame%26quot; on video first,, the Disney version.
There are serveral apartment rental companies that seem to be reliable, based on what I have seen on these boards anyways.Do a serach. There is also a hotel/apartment chain, Citidines, which is very popular for families and reasonable prices.
Good luck
