 Make sure you take the correct exit Sortie 1 from Gare de Lyon Its a large station and if you end up on the wrong side of it you can end up at the wrong Novotel and get sore feet walking around the large station to get to the correct side 
 Children ate breakfast for free which was a great start to a big day of sightseeing The buffet was excellent Gifts on arrival and departure for the children We used the pool at the end of each day I can thoroughly recommend this hotel if you are travelling with children
