TGV Train

[disneydavey]

Hi again

ok so weve booked the holiday, now its time to book the flights, ive got a great deal with easyjet with cheapish flights from liverpool

the next part is the transport from the airpot to DLP, what is the best way, ive checked with vea.fr but they dont run after 10, i was thinking about the TGV train but im not sure about the timetables

anyone got any ideas or prices for 2 adults in september?

cheers

If you look under www.tgv.co.uk it will list all the time tables etc also it will allow you to book tickets. I did try and get a price for september, but it seemed to be playing up. Also there is a site www.raileurope.co.uk.

where is the train stop for the TGV train?

i couldnt find it in the list

At CDG airport it's at the far end of Terminal 2. So you will have to get an airport shuttle from Terminal 3, where Easyjet come in and T2.

It's not too difficult, we did a similar journey with a small child and a buggy and lived to tell the tale!!

As CDG has essentially 6 Terminal 2s, it should be pointed out that the TGV station is located between 2C/D & 2 E/F. It is a lovely piece of architecture.

Thanks for clarifying that RoyalCanadian. I only knew that it was at the far right end of the building as you look at it on a map - so not much help really!

decided on getting the vea buses,,weve checked the timetable and they seem ok for the time we arrive, about 40 mins after we land so that should be fine

cheers everyone

That's good! Although the TGV is much quicker, I think the VEA shuttle is the easiest way to DLP from the airport. Especially now that they stop at Terminal 3. Up until about a year ago you had to get an airport shuttle to another terminal and then try to find the VEA stop - which was very time consuming, not to mention hard work lugging all the stuff. Terminal 3 is small compared with the other terminals and you just walk out the front. And then the VEA drops you off outside your hotel - couldn't be easier!

Have fun.

yeah i used it last october, just thought that the TGV or RER might have been more efficient

cant wait now just got all the holiday details through, with a lovely little brochure off disney

Disneydavey - after I posted I put two and two together and realised you probably knew all about it!!

Without a doubt the TGV is faster than the VEA shuttle, but I still think the shuttle is easier. If you use the train you still have to get from whichever terminal to the airport station. and then from the DLP station to your hotel. The VEA shuttle is door to door - I like that!

yeah i kno all about it, and reckon that the shuttles will be the easiest, they arrive about 40 mins after we land so by the time we get our case and head out of the terminal we'll only be waiting round for a few mins, ive been telling Caz about what ive been doing over the fone cos she is on holiday now herself and shes dead excited now, so thats made me feel better cos ive been doing the running round over here, at least im getting apreciated
