Its about 10Mins drive south off the Eiffel Tower.It took me about 2 hours to get get once i was on French side and off the train.
Theres loads of places but you best be is to stay near the Eiffel tower then you a 10mins car ride to the show and 2 mins cab ride from the Arc De Triomphe and Champs elysees with loads of places to eat and drink. Most parking is under the hotel or loads of spaces at the show if you want to park there. But id leave to car at the hotel and get the cab.
have a nice drive.
ps... make sure you take your sat nav lol

The train sytem in Paris is superb! It's cheap on time reliable and clean. I was at the 2006 show exhibiting and I actually stayed right out the opposite side of Paris near Euro Disney I thought it was going to be a real hassle but it was anything but. Make a note of the end stops on the lines you need and it's a doddle.

Definately need to book a long time in advance for rooms if you are staying I expect you will find everywhere is booked solid. The Paris show makes our motor show look like a cub scout's jamboree hmmm now I take that back the jamborees are better! Paris is well worth visiting it's HUGE ! and the stands are all first class.
