The most obvious choice would be the Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport, though if you are already in Europe when the tour begins, Orly Airport is also conveniently close to Paris and connected with public transport options.
Beauvais is not recommended, due to its distance and lack of amenities and transport connections.
There will be a group departing from Houston, on Friday, May 21, in case you would like to join them and benefit from organized travel from the CDG airport to the hotel in Paris. More information will be provided upon request.
-
Most days there will be a late afternoon break before having dinner, though the schedule is fairly tight (I want you to get your money’s worth!).
That being said, nothing is an obligation, you are welcome to not participate in anything planned, as long as you let me know so that I will not be looking for you :)
-
That would be quite complicated, as people will be traveling from different parts of the world.
Also, we don’t all have the same budget (do you fly economy like me? or 1st class/business?), flight miles, reward memberships, etc.
-
No worries; I’ll be sending you directions on how to travel by public transportation, as well as some options like private transfer, taxi or Uber.
