Paris Shuttle
 
I am leaving for Paris in a couple of days. Has anyone heard anything about Mark Harris' Paris Shuttle? I know he changed companies recently. I've tried emailing Paris Shuttle with my info and have been waiting for an email confirmation, so far no response. They do not have a toll free number from the US either. Any information would be appreciated. I am traveling with my sons and have large suitcases so the shuttle has always been the best way to get to downtown Paris.

I think it would be easier for you to go outside and get in the taxi line. You won't save any money with the shuttle and you won't have to call and wait to be picked up. If you have more than three people in your party and tons of luggage, you may have to wait a couple of minutes for a van type taxi. Be sure you are in the line for the Taxi Parisiene and don't go with anybody who trys to snag you as you exit the door (you'll pay dearly for that error).

I have used Parishuttle several times and been very happy with them. I made my original reservations via phone from the U.S. You might want to just spring for the cost to be sure the reservation was made.

Jam, do yourself a favor. After an all-night flight, take a taxi. You'll thank yourself. Same price for one person or 3 people. Maybe a Euro or two for luggage.<BR><BR>

I've used Paris Shuttle twice, and I think it is easier to take a taxi. The savings wasn't worth sharing the ride.

Our Parishuttle experience was a good one. Driver waiting when we arrived, and as far as sharing is concerned, there was one couple on our trip into Paris, and we enjoyed visiting with them. Likewise, the shuttle arrived at our hotel on time for our return trip to the airport. We had a few stops to pick up other passengers, but we arrived at CDG in plenty of time for our flight. <BR><BR>Fred always recommends taxis on every post I have ever seen on this subject.<BR><BR>
