October 18 Strike
#21
Have you searched the www.accorhotels.com site to check various availabilities? Frankly, I would not worry too much about Gare du Nord on the morning of the 18th, because there will be dozens if not hundreds of people wanting a taxi to CDG from there in the early hours if there is no train, and they will be more than willing to share a taxi.
www.taxiG7.com will allow you to book a taxi ahead of time if you want. Of course, it will cost more. (Naturally there are a number of other taxi companies that will do the same thing, but G7 is the one I use when necessary.)
