Bonjour!
We are planning a trip for next May, and will be staying for a week at the Marriott d%26#39;ile-de-France . We plan to take the train into Paris a few days, but want to relax and enjoy the area and some day trips the rest of the time.
DO I need a car to get to the Metro station and back or to any restaurants or Shopping/grocery store areas.?
Is a cab an option if I only need to go a short distance? the car rentals are so expensive, I would love to do without, but I also dont want to get stuck at the train station, or have problems going out for groceries. and shopping.
ANy suggestions for short day excurstions (maybe 1 hour away)
Thanks for any help

I assume you%26#39;re referring to the Marriott%26#39;s Village d%26#39;Île-de-France, in Bailly Romainvilliers? Just in case you haven%26#39;t seen it, this is their website: http://tinyurl.com/2977uf
According to the hotel%26#39;s website, there is a bus stop near by, but the nearest station is 5 km away (Marne-la-Vallee - Chessy). There, you can take the RER to Paris. You will need a ticket for zone 1-5. For the 5 km trip to the station, you could take a cab. I wouldn%26#39;t recommend renting a car to go to Paris...
On the hotel website, you will find some suggestions for trips in the area.

My husband and I stayed at that Marriott about 2 years ago. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, but it can be quite a long trip into Paris (about 1-1.5 hours) because the RER makes a lot of stops. We did rent a car and it made everything a lot easier. We never drove into Paris because traffic is absolutely crazy, but it was really helpful driving to the train station and around the hotel area. Unfortunately, there isn%26#39;t an incredible amount of things to do directly around the hotel. There are some restaurants and stores right in town in Bailly Romainvilliers, but most of them tend to close early. We went to Disneyland Paris one day, which is very close by and was a lot of fun. For a day excursion, I would highly recommend going to Versailles and touring the castle. It%26#39;s massive and the gardens are beautiful. But try to avoid rush hour as traffic right around Paris is awful. There is also a mall and outlet center close to the hotel. I think it%26#39;s called Val de Europe, but I may be wrong.
