well it is Paris airport???? or what lol!

by gwened

usually the tip is in the Paris page and they are. However, for the record the so call Paris airports are not in Paris but in ile de France. the so call CDG is in Roissy en France, dept 95 Val d'Oise just northwest of Paris ,and Orly well its in the city of Orly in Val de Marne no 94.that is why you need to take a much expensier train or RER ticket to get into PARIS.the transportation site is Pariswww.aeroportsdeparis.comand the www.ratp.fror the ile de France transport sitewww.transilien.comBy car you get out on the A1 and enter Paris by Porte de la Chapelle, and from Orly you take the A106 than A6 to Paris. You have the RER B from CDG and the OrlyVal from Orly or the Roissybus from CDG or the Orlybus from Orly.Orly is small and very easy to move about, CDG is bigger and sometime confusing to visitors but its easy multilingual and well signages.For more see my Paris page on...

bus train fr Conflans SH to Versailles

by gwened

my backyard, lovely place, see the museum of boat making there.YOu arrive right in ctiy center on the Seine river. quicker on the taxi but more expensive.the train bus is long over an hour, the area is really best by car, but I have a house in Versailles;you walk across to take the bus No 16 direction Saint Quentin les Yvelines, and there take the train to Versailles chantiers station, if you are going to the castle take the TRI bus at the gare Chantiers to it. or rive gauche station. There up and working already the tourist bus TRI it stops at all the gares or train stations in VERsailles and chateau and trianons.for the lenght of time, maybe a taxi would be better, I drive a car here so.Hope it helps

By train!

by Elisabcn

All these trips have been done by train and from Paris. Sometimes I also add the bicycle but I will write another tip about it.You can use RER (RATP) or SNCF (easier to write it than to pronounce it!) trains. RER trains have poetic names like UDON, DROP . . . or my favourite one, PAPY, which remembers me Berlusconi :-)))But I prefer SNCF trains because they can take you far far away from Paris . . .On my tips you will find which transport you can use and from which station you can leave.
