We visited Paris during the Easter weekend this April. Our plan was to arrive in Paris after spending a couple of days in Nice. Our flight was to arrive at the Orly airport in Paris, late in the night at 1030 pm, so we booked the Etap Hotel Rungis which is close to the Orly Airport (at least that is what the website made it out to be!).
We had expected the hotel to be really close to the airport - something like a 10 min walk or a 5 min bus ride. The reason we expected this was that the Etap Hotel we stayed at in Nice was right opposite the Cote d' Azur Airport in Nice - just a 5 minute walk!
When we landed in Orly at 1030 (by the time we came out, it was almost 1115 in the night - thanks to a delay caused due to a perceived threat an "unattended" piece of luggage had caused!), we were in for a shock!
There was no Etap in sight, we saw a bus with its destination as Ibis, we asked the driver, he said he goes nowhere near Etap! So here we were almost at midnight... more
