Information for those Renting a vehicle in Paris

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport , CDG, is a big sprawling airport 14
miles northeast of Paris that is divided into three large sections. These
sections are further divided into Halls, resulting in a total of eight sections.
These terminals serve the many and varied airlines.
Air France operates out of CDG 2, which is further divided into terminals
(Halls) A, B,C, D, E, and F.
Terminal One and Terminal Three are not further divided
. When returning a rental car or flying out of CDG it is important to know the
terminal number; One, Two, or Three.
Otherwise, CDG has everything the traveler needs including hotels, rental
cars, bus/subway service, and a new train station.
Airport surface transportation, the Roissybus connects the three airport
Terminals and the train station for the RER Trains and its connection to the
subway system. (Metro)
From Terminal two's RER Train station, the RER trains run every 15 minutes
and take 35 minutes to reach Paris and Guare du Norde train station with
connections to the Metro. If you are carrying heavy suitcases, however, you will
find no escalators or elevators in many of the subway (Metro) stations in
Paris.
The best option is to taxi into Paris to your hotel unless you can lug your
suitcases up several flights of stairs when exiting the subway (Metro) station in
Paris.
Look into shared or Private shuttle vans, AC, Non smoking vans from the
airport.
Renting a car at CDG airport is an option but Paris is difficult to drive in unless
you are familiar with the city.

What To Wear in Paris:
Paris has a climate similar to the mid USA at sea level, cool winters but not much
ice or snow, warm to hot summers, light rain in Spring.
RyanAir from Shannon serves Paris-Beauvais Airport,(BVA) about 80 KM
north of Paris. A shuttle bus from Beauvais reaches Paris in one hour. Train
service is not available.
.
To Paris
Ryan Air out of Shannon (SNN) for example, to Paris/Beauvais (BVA) lists at 34
Euros round trip plus charges for luggage and other extras, (check the long list of
extras before booking) for the one hour flight.
RyanAir, serves dozens of obscure or satellite European cities and offers at
times $20 and $30 dollar flights with many add on charges for luggage, booking
fees, etc. Check the extras before booking.
From Gatwick, a shuttle for $35. to the Standsted Airport served by
RyanAir with fights to other parts of France could result in significant savings for
those with the stamina to make several plane changes and those with a flexible
schedule.
A flight from London's Standsted to Marseille for example recently listed at 15
Euros ($20 USD) plus tax and an additional charge for luggage which could make
the total cost an attractive $45 USD.
While the price sounds tempting, the flight has unreserved first come, first
served seating and limited daily flights. Luggage over 15 kg is extra and there
are many add on charges.
For independent and flexible travelers this airline is worth a look but for most
travelers needing a level of comfort and a firm schedule and seat assignment,
these offerings could lead to an unacceptable level of anxiety. The best bet is to
fly directly into CDG.
Otherwise you might go through Ireland's Shannon or London's Heathrow
where you will go through customs and immigration and could be delayed for
your flight to Paris.
Air Travel Reservations to Paris must be realistic; can you really run
from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in half an hour?
Give yourself about two and a half to three hours for a connection that
requires a trip through customs and immigration.
