Have you used Bluvan from Ch. de Gaulle airport in Paris?

We've been reviewing our options for transport to the 7th arrondissement and came across Bluvan. In th past we have used taxis, but it so costly now, this seemed like a better option. Has anyone used them and what has your experience been? Do you recommend? Many thanks.

Generally, I do not recommend shared ride vans. They can be economical but if you are not the first to be dropped off, they can take a good amount of time to get you where you want to go.

As the general reports about Bluvan (from those who use this type of service) are good, I have recommended them in the past.

Any of these companies are usually reliable (private shuttles, not shared ride):

b. http://www.shuttle-inter.com/
c. http://www.beeshuttle.com/

Thanks--I was hoping that with a max of 8 persons that it might go smoothly--w have had the long shuttle rides before and I was looking for a reasonable alternative with a very early morning arrival. Do you know if the AirFrance bus goes from Roissy to Invalides. I couldn't find a notation on that. Many thanks.

Robyn,

I use http://www.shuttle-inter.com/ all the time and have passed it on to a great many others who have also used it to their great satisfaction.

They will be meeting me next week on Wednesday.

This is a private service. They will be ouside security exit door with your name on a sin, take your luggage to nearby vehicle and you will be off. No meter running if a traffic delay. They check for flight delays. No credit cards.

Enjoy..

Joan

Hi RF,

We have used Blue Van.

It is no better or worse than the other shuttle servces.
