Do it, you won't be disappointed. We stayed at the Hotel Taanilinna. It isn't fancy but the people running it are great and the double deluxe rooms are big. I forget the name of the room we stayed in but it was huge (room is the one pictured on the left

The overnight trip to Stockholm is so long. If you want to you that way though I'd suggest just going to the Åland Islands. They are definitely not like Sask. rent bikes and just cruise around the islands. Great place.
If you have a car have you been up north? We took a great trip with our local Finnish friend from Jyvaskyla all the way up to Nordkapp in Norway. 2 days to drive there but was great. You could just go to Rovaniemi, take your picture standing on the arctic circle, see Santa, and eat some reindeer but going to the top of Europe was a memorable experience.

Staying for 3 nights in Pont Sainte Maxence, so 50-60 km north of Paris.
Will have a car. There are 5 of us.
First thought was to drive as far as Gare du Nord, park it; then take train to the center.
Other options include driving all the way, and train all the way in. Your thoughts?

With 5 parking at Gare du Nord makes sense instead of training it all the way. We've rented a car from there and there are lots of one ways and it might be a bit of a show to get to your garage but it's doable. Here's some garage options.
