My daughter and I fly into Paris Sunday the 29th of July. It is our first time, we will each be wheeling a suitcase and a tote. We arrive around noon. Arriving at CDG and our hotel is located at 65 Rue De Lyon, Paris, FR.

Is taxi our easiest method that time of day in order to maximize the balance of the day? We are only in Paris through Wed eve, then onto Megeve.

There is a lot of discussion about this subject here, it is a frequently asked question. Do a search for Paris shuttle and you'll find a bunch.

Here is one thread that looks pretty complete:

The easiest method is to walk to the taxi stand and get into a cab. Have the name and address of your hotel written down and hand it to the driver. I usually also have the location map from the hotel's website as a guide. This is not the least expensive way, but I think it is pretty easy.

As a NY'er I find that sometimes the extra money is worth the ease of travel with a child along. I was unclear as to the traffic situation that time of day. Thanks for your repsonse! I just popped on here today for the first time, our trip is sort of last minute.

No Question... take the taxi to the hotel ... we usually arrange this ahead of our trip with the travel agency that booked our trip. Also, make sure you book a return trip and verify the return time the day before. You can visit our web site... for an agenda. Yahoo... traveling with Emily. Emilyandjim.info

Hi N,

Taxi is about 55E for two.

will be about 19E pp.

Enjoy your visit.

To maximize time, I think the taxi would be best. For two people, shuttle prices aren't all that much of advantage (although an advantage, if you are counting every euro). However, shuttles can sometimes take and exaperatingly long time. Sunday midday ought not to have too many traffic jams.

Thank you one and all. We are going TAXI! Now we need to figure out what to do the 4 days we are in Nice....... ?!
