We stayed at Hotel Relais Bosquet which is in the seventh arrondissement. It was such a delightful, cheery place. The entire staff was wonderful and they served a great breakfast each morning. Down the block is Rue Cler, with open air market stores that contain fruit, vegetables, chocolates, cheeses, meats, etc. Next to the hotel, the bakery gave off such delightful smells as the bread and pastries baked. ( www.relaisbosquet.com). We were able to walk up the block to the Metro station-Ecole Militaire. The receptionist at the hotel led us to the local buses which took us everywhere we needed to go. We found this area to be the perfect spot for us, we felt like we were right at home in a true neighborhood. There are several other hotels nearby, also. Check out Hotel du Cadran or Hotel Champ de Mars or Grand Hotel Leveque.

We got the seven day rail pass at the first metro station. It is primarly for locals as it runs from Sunday to Sunday. We got there on a Sunday so it worked well for our week stay. It was good to Versailles as well. It will not get you to Caen.
I would not recommend our hotel, but it was close to the Metro.

For transfers I would recommend you to hire a car with driver in advance, it's more comfortable than public transport and cheaper than taxi. We used the site www.1cares.com for booking all our trips around Paris(Disneyland, Versailles, Fontainebleau). The airport transfer at minivan for our family of 6 per. was 47Eu.

The French railways website is www.voyages-sncf.com. If you book in advance, you can travel from Paris to Caen for 15 euros. You can then pick up a rental car in Caen, if you want to visit the Normandy beaches, or the Bayeux tapestry.
