Trying to get on line driving directions

HELP, I'm about to go mad here. <BR>I've been able to get most of our driving directions from a web site called mappy.com & have been pleased.<BR> BUT I can't seem to get directions from Airport CDG to Giverny. No matter what I put in for the airport , it won't recognize it?? How can I get this to work??<BR>I've tried other sites also, but can't seem to type in the correct thing for the airport.

Hi Paul,<BR><BR>Have you tried www.ismap.com? (there's no question mark in the URL)<BR><BR>I have tried your destinations, but it's a great spot for Paris.<BR><BR>Jennifer

Gerry:<BR><BR>Nope. I don't think that's it. The site tells me it's 104km to Giverny & it takes 1:45 m. I didn't think it was that far. Besides, on the map that they print, I don't recognize any town.<BR><BR>Paul

Hello Paul,<BR><BR>Just confirming JOdy's recommendation. I just entered "Paris CDG" at the viamichelin site -- it came out with "aeroport Roissy CDG." It shows the distance is 58 miles or 1.07 minutes to Giverny.<BR><BR>s

Try the AA Route Planner. URL is: www.theaa.com/travelwatch/planner_main.<BR>jsp<BR>I just tried it using Charles de Gaulle Airport as point leaving from and Vernon (which is very close to Giverny - I couldn't get it to recognize G.) as destination - it gave me the route and said it would take 1hr13min. If you can't get it to work let me know and I can forward what I got.
