Hi all
Well another hotel on my shotlist is the Ibis Gare Du Nord Chateau Landon, 197-199 rue La Fayette 75010
I realise this is on a major metro line but how long would the journey time be to the major attractions (Louvre, Eiffel etc) and would walking be possible?
Many thanks

I would count between 20 and 40 minutes to the major sights by metro. Walking is not really an option, unless you are a very good urban walker.
Although it is close to where I live, you probably know that the gare du nord area is not the postcard Paris most tourists want to see.

You can go to www.pagesjaunes.fr and get an exact fix on the hotel%26#39;s location. You can also find a photograph of the building there. If you play around you will be able to find photos of other buildings nearby, which will give you an idea of the area.
www.mappy.com will allow you to find pedestrian routes and times from your hotel to any other address in Paris.
www.ratp.fr is the officil Paris public transport site, and will give you routes and timings between any two places in Paris.

If you are using the Metro, the RATP posts the time between the Louis Blanc metro station and Palais Royal (Mus du Louv) to be 12 minutes, with train freq at about every 5 minutes. The Louis Blanc metro station is about 100m from your hotel. You can look at other times and lines by visiting their website at ratp.fr.
Travel further on to the left bank or transfering to another line will add time more time.
