yes, thats right, so roissy bus to opera opera to one of those two stops and then i looked on google earth and the stops look like a bit of a walk from the hotel...is there taxis or something in that area because of our luggage and what not?

Hi Robe and Moorea,

When I copied and pasted the same address it took me by way of the RER A.

So, I think that the computer is saying that both ways work, and is giving us the quickest connection based on the time we are entering.

I was concerned about getting from the Metro 8 line stops across the river.

After some searching with www.mappy.com I found that it is possible.

Enter "Maisons Alfort" to "12 Rue Du Marechal Leclerc" and change express to "pedestrian".

It's a 0:25 hr walk.

Enjoy your visit, M.

Hi M,

Since you will be staying in the vicinity you might find this interesting:

Joinville
Veteran Parisian travelers looking for an off-the-beaten tourist path part of Paris can hop RER A to the Joinville-le-Pont station (about 20 min from Gare de Lyon) and do a lovely walk from there along the tranquil and barge-ful Marne River. Walking paths go pretty much on both sides of the river but from the station go along the north/west side of the river and soon you'll be in an area of old quaint stone houses - some of the most unique houses I've seen in Paris, in a kind of gingerbread style - fanciful, whimsical dating from the turn of the centry when this part of the Marne was a favorite with artists who flocked here to eat in its guinguettes, few of which exist today. But you can walk along the Marne for about two miles until you come to another RER station, line E station at Nogent, to return to Paris. Joinville itself is known for its canal tunnel where
barges avoid a large loop in the Marne and use a lengthy tunnel to cut over towards the junction with the Seine. Joinville is a pleasant suburb with the usual coterie of cafes, etc. Sunday market sprawls over many streets.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where you can buy tickets for the Roissy Bus (arriving at T2)? Is there a counter and/or can you purchase them from the conductor?
Thanks!
