Can we buy the passes at CDG airport? I know they sell them at some metros, but want to purchase as soon as we arrive. <BR> <BR>Experience with transport from airport to city? Taxi is our plan. Hired drivers a little too much money and I don't want to take the Air France bus as it goes to a central location and then we would still have to get a taxi/metro with our bags in hand, to our hotel. <BR> <BR>Any stay at the Le Regent in the 6eme? <BR> <BR>Leaving in a few days. Thanks!

Cabs are around FF350 to the city center depending on traffic and only accept 4 passengers, good luck with more than 3 large bags! There are some shuttle services, but not everyone finds them timely or convenient.The RER B line is around FF50 pp to the city center. But you would still have to hoof it or take a cab once you arrive. <BR> <BR>Doesn't the Regent have a shuttle service to/from CDG? <BR> <BR>I haven't seen any Carte Musees at the airport, but they are REALLY easy to purchase at the metro, even if you aren't planning to use the metro.

I haven't stayed at le Regent but just down the street and the location is excellent, if that helps.I don't know if there is a place in CDG that sells the museum pass; my own information doesn't mention it and the intermusees website is down for a while. However, at the Odeon or St Michel metro stops 5 minutes from your hotel you should be able to buy them, and le Regent may even have them for sale at the front desk. <BR> <BR>I'm glad you're able to take a taxi which I recommend if your budget can handle it and your luggage is anything more than a carry-on. Alternatively, many people on this forum have recommended the Aiport Shuttle which will drop you at your hotel but will be making drop-offs of other passengers as well. <BR>The e-mail address is: <BR>[email protected] <BR>They have a desk at the airport, but encourage booking in <BR>advance so you don't have to wait. Toll-free # from US is 888-426-2705. <BR>Their web site: www.parisanglo.com/clients/ashuttle.htmlIn March 2000 it was 89FF per person for two or more. <BR> <BR> <BR>

My wife & I used the following shuttle service. It was timely, inexpensive & great to use both going to the city and returning to the airport a week later. Highly recommend it. <BR> <BR>Airport Shuttle <BR>The Airport Shuttle Paris <BR>1-888-426-2705 (6AM-8PM – Paris time) <BR>http://paris-anglo.com/clients/ashuttle/index.html <BR>89FF per person (2 or more people) <BR>120FF (single person) <BR>(Can be booked prior to leaving U.S.) <BR> <BR>Hope this helps you. <BR> <BR>Bob

Around mid-February, there were a couple of comments about the Hotel Le Regent in the 6e- all were very positive. In a nutshell, they said that the deluxe rooms are great (good sized rooms and very clean)- they face the streets as opposed to the standard rooms (much smaller, but just as nice and faces the courtyard). <BR> <BR>We were booked there for April- but have to switch from a deluxe room to standard room mid-way. <BR> <BR>Has anyone stayed at the Hotel Louis II?

1) Buy passes in Paris - easy to do so. When you arrive at CDG you'll just want to get into Paris <BR>2) Be smart - take a taxi. Walk outside the terminal and get on line. Just be sure they're the ones with "Taxi Parisien" on the roof <BR>3)Here's what various people said about Le Regent: <BR>Loved it and I'm very picky <BR>Very friendly staff <BR>great location <BR>absolutely wonderful <BR>on a charming sidestreet. <BR>rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated <BR>amenities were excellent <BR>rooms are small but nicely decorated <BR>nicely appointed <BR>It was immaculate. <BR>desk staff not particularly friendly or helpful. <BR>enjoyed it very much. <BR>rooms were decorated nicely <BR>bathrooms were very nice, sparkling clean <BR>Nice staff <BR>plain and miniscule rooms <BR>E-mail me for more information. <BR>
