                                   Travelling to Paris :
                                 --------------------------

 By plane :
 -----------

      Paris has two international airports:

 Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) : it is 15 miles north of Paris. From the
 terminals you can take  a shuttle  to the train  station and then take a
 train to "Luxembourg" or "Saint Michel" station if you are going to stay
 in one of the hotel listed above.  You can also find  buses ( Air France
 for instance) or take a taxi (about 170 FF from CDG to Paris).

 Orly (ORY) : it is  10 miles  south of Paris.  From the  airport you can
 take a shuttle to the "Orlyrail" station and then take a train to "Saint
 Michel-Notre Dame" station or take the automatic metro "Orlyval"" to the
 "Antony" station of the RER B and then a train to "Luxembourg" or "Saint
 Michel" station. The option A (shuttle+train) is less expensive but also
 takes more time than option B (Orlyval+train). The taxi fares are  about
 120 FF to go to Paris.

 By train :
 -----------

    The direct  connection between  London and  Paris should be opened in
 October with the new TGV line (using the channel tunnel). To go from the
 "Gare du Nord"  to the hotel  area you  can take the  metro or the RER B
 line which should be quicker (metro line #4 direction "Porte d'Orleans"),
 to the "Saint Michel" station (both).

    The TGV coming from Switzerland are arriving in "Paris-Lyon" station.
 You should then take the RER A line direction "Saint Germain-en-Laye"
 and then take the RER B line at the "Chatelet" station.

    PARIS VISITE : instead of  buying  tickets each time you want to travel
 by RER, bus, train or metro, you should buy a "Paris Visite" pass directly
 at the airport or railway  station. It is an all-in travel pass, valid for
 3 or  5  days,  giving  you  access to  every  part  of the  city  and its
 surrounding areas.  By metro,  bus or RER,  as well as  SNCF Ile-de-France
 lines, to Orly and  Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, to  Eurodisneyland-Resort or
 Versailles. You should ask for a 5 zones + airport pass  (200 FF for three
 days, 275 FF for five days). One could ask you for a  "supplement" to take
 the Orlyval line.
