Ibis Paris Brancion Parc des Expositions 15ème  

The best thing about this hotel is it's proximity to two, very good Patitiseries and a lovely Park. Each morning we got our breakfast from the bakers and went into the park to eat - it was very relaxing (apart from all the people jogging around) and very tasty.The Hotel itself was adequate, but the one thing I was impressed with was the cleanliness and linen service. We stayed for 3 nights and had our bed clothes, towels etc. changed every day. It was very handy for the Trams (Brancion) and the Metro (Porte de Vanves).On a serious note, be very aware of pickpockets in Paris. We got done twice. The first time at Gard du Nord, 5 mins after arriving in Paris - luckily and thanks to the superb efforts by the Police, my partner did eventually get her purse back, in tact, but we did waste 4 hours of our stay making statements and running around from Police Station to Police Station. The second time, a gang of young scallys in the Louvre tried to nick my walett. I felt a hand in my pocket, turned around and caught a young man in the act of undoing my pocket buttons.
