We are taking the TGV from Avignon to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. We need to transfer from the rail station to United Airlines. I know they are in seperate terminals. Does anyone have specific instructions on how to do this. We do not speak French.

I will be doing just the opposite. I will be taking the TGV to Avignon from CDG. United Airlines is usually at T1 and the TGV is at T2. Everything I read is that you follow the signs that say "navettes". A navette are the shuttles that connects the terminals. The guidebooks that I have read say that the signage is clear as to where to pickup the navette so I'm not too concerned about it. I have always found staff at CDG helpful. I don't speak french. But I can manage navette and T1. Just remember that T is pronounced "tay" and you probably know that one is "un".

Actually I have done this. I one time took the RER to the airport. So I must have taken the navette because I flew U.S.Airways that time. It was nothing. So much so, I didn't even think about it until now.

Hi K,

As noted, you will come into CDG2.

If you leave from CDG1 you will take the shuttle bus. It's about a 20 min ride.

See http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr
for maps of the airport.

See the same Aeroports de Paris site for information on how to move between terminals. The site is viewable in English.

Thanks so much for the helpful suggestions.
