Is "Greater Paris area" near the centre of Paris?

I am going on a cheap weekend away and the hotel is in the Greater Paris Area. I want to take my son to see the tourist attractions in Paris. Is it easy to get from the Greater Paris Area to e.g the eiffel tower? Does the metro operate in the Greater Paris Area? any advice gratefully received

If you have the address of the hotel do a search on multimap. Paris underground stations are marked with a Blue M in a circle.
Greater usually means the outer areas just outside the city centre.

depending on where you are in the "greater paris area", it can hours to get to the center of paris or a few minutes.

visit www.ratp.fr it's in french but there a link in the upper right corner to translate the site in english.

I would imagine that Greater Paris area is a euphemistic way of saying it is on the very outskirts or in a small town outside Paris I'm afraid. It definitely won't be near the centre. You would be very hard pushed to find cheap accomodation near the centre of Paris...

The greater Paris area is the suburbs of Paris.
It depends of wich suburb you're going to, but try to look up on the RATP's side or just google Metro Paris to see if your Hotel is near a station.
Have a nice time in Paris!!!
Next time you should maybe stay more central.
There are millions of cheap hotel's in Paris:-)

Greater area...usually means the area around the city. IE not in the center of the city.

But, Paris has a great metro system that is easy to navigate. Contact the hotel and ask what stop they are near, then download a map of the system from Google. Then you can decide whether it is too far out for you.

yep greater paris is more or less the centre u will be fine. also the metro is great there, so regular, really cheap n really fast, u will have no problem. im so jealous! love paris! have a good time x

The "Greater Paris Area" could mean just about anything.

It makes absolutely no sense to take a hotel in the outskirts when there are a multitude of reasonably priced hotels in the very center of Paris.

I strongly adivse you to make other arrangements for lodging if it is at all possible to change hotels.

Greater Paris is on a par with Greater London and the Metro does extend to the suburbs. Both Greater Paris & Greater London covers some several hundred aquare miles.

yes...
