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 Marseilles 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 who need 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.
Houston also offers direct flights
to CDG.
If you are not able to make a
direct flight 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.
