Presles-en-Brie accommodation from AU$164

We enjoyed our stay at Le Patio Bastille. I traveled with my 13Y daughter from the States for her birthday. We were hesitant upon arrival given the protests happening at the nearby metro stop. I had been in contact with the hotel leading up to our stay - assured us it was 15 mins away. Definitely make sure to bring outlet converters. I had to run to the Monoprix to get - which, if you forget, they have tons of items. We didn't do the breakfasts at the hotel - ate at various patisseries instead, highly recommend that! The staff were helpful - and spoke english. The surrounding neighborhood was fine - graffiti on various walls but for the most part, felt safe. I do recommend Le Patio Bastille, great price point. Further out from things but in all honesty, the Nation metro is nearby and has multiple train options. We did book an Uber from the airport - that was a little crazy to locate. I would recommend doing the taxi instead. It's supposed to be 56 euro from CDG to Le Patio Bastille. We had the hotel book a return taxi for us - was an uber, but he granted the 56 euro. For the Metro, we arrived Thursday, and got the Navigo pass that was unlimited bus and train through Sunday for 23euro each, plus 5 euro for the plastic casing. I did bring little cut out pictures for it - otherwise you can buy/take the photo there. Not all metros offer this pass. Nation does. The airport does not. We opted for the Navigo pass as it was a lot cheaper than the 5 day pass. ENJOY!
