Gare De L'Ouest looks inviting but beware!

"Although I haven't slept at the airports of Paris, I've attempted to sleep at 2 of the stations, possibly the worst experience of my life. Here are some things anyone who might be considering it ought to know.
1) You will be told not to smoke every 10 minutes by very loud announcements
2) If you are chased through the station by nutcases at 3 am who try and rape you, don't expect the security to have any sympathy
3) No one who works there will have any idea what is going on
4) You will be thrown out of the building (gare du nord) and threatened with guard dogs and evil looking french policemen
5) It is not possible to sleep on any of the structures anywhere in the stations. Sleeping on the luggage trolleys is a better idea
6) It is very likely that you will have all your stuff stolen
7) DO NOT try to sleep at the bottom of steps to the underground outside, you'll probably die of cold
8) Make friends with other people there, but not the french- in my experience they steal all your money and then make out that they can't understand why you're annoyed
9) If there is any other place you could possibly sleep, go there
10) Wear all your clothes. You will never get warm and may turn blue and end up with hypothermia (like I did)"
