'Decent' Hotels or B&B's near La Defense, Paris - any ideas ?

need some sort of lodging as above as close as possible to La Defense,
but nothing extortionate because I will be paying.....

can be a short metro ride, but I don't want to be with the burning car
brigade

You had better be quick before FEBO goes bust. There was a Horeca report,
yesterday, saying that Dutch snack bars are disappearing fast, because of slow
queues and poor quality food. I hope Jeremy sees this!

At Schiphol last week, I had a decent sandwich at one of the 'food
areas.' In front of me was some american tonto who was trying to use up
all his euro coins, but couldn't quite figure them out, and then when he
did, didn't have enough. The Typical Look of Dutch Derision (TM) from
the cashier was to _die_ for. I very much appreciated it!

Horses for courses, they would have treated the poor sot like that even

By that reckoning the whole country should have gone bust a long time
ago!

Taking the Bartlette to school yesterday, she said "Dad, why do we live
here?" I was unable to give a satisfactory answer.

LOL I bet she wasn't the first to ask the question.

Having said that both my kids would prefer to return to NL.

Philosphically, the life of an expat is to gripe about wherever they're
living. But they became an expat in the first place because they don't
like home, either :-( !!
