Paris - bus from Beauvis

Keedowah

Hi,

Heading to Paris tomorrow for a few days (ohh and going to see the champs league final ). Its my first time there and I was wondering where the bus from Beauvis drops you off in the city? I think i have an idea where i am staying - its near Ashieres Gennevilliers Gabriel Peri metor stop (in case anyone is familiar with the city).

Thanks for any help,

It drops you off at Port Maillot and where you are going is about four stops away but you'll have to change from RER to metro.

Ashieres Gennevilliers Gabriel Peri is the last stop on line 13. It's the light blue one the map, up near the top left.

The first piece of good news is that it's not far away from the place where Ryanair drops you off.

The second piece is that you're not far from the stadium either.


Ryanair drops you off at Porte Maillot (A) on my map in a large carpark. Walk to the otherside of the large Concorde hotel (you can't miss it) and you'll find the RER station (RER = hight speed suburban train).

Take the RER C (yellow line) north in direction of Pontoise or Argenteuil for 2 stops and get off at Porte de Clichy. Here you change line onto metro #13 and head in the direction of Gabriel Peri (B) on map.
It's 2 stops away and the last stop on that line so you can't go too wrong.


If you're leaving the hotel to go to the match then you just take the line #13 for 4 stops to La fourche and change onto the line heading to Saint Denis and get off 6 stops later at the stadium, (C) on map.


A metro ticket is €1.10 one-way and you keep it when changing from one line to another. A book of 10 will cost you €10.

If you're travelling from the city to the stadium then grab the RER B or D from Chatelet or Gare de Nord.


Tip : Write down the name and address of your hotel on a piece of paper and keep it in your wallet. If you end up locked drunk at 4am outside a bar then you just need to hand it to a taxi driver and you're off !

It's getting better. I think it's a nicer airport than Dublin.

Actually yeah. In the past 12 months it's changed a lot though the area you wait for the plane is still a large tent.

At least it's better than Waterford airport where there keep the duty-free items in a plastic bag that you can have a look in to see if anything interests you

Bournemouth is another classic. The chap who marshalls the planes also appears to serve behind the bar. There is a pool table there with sweeping brush handles in place of cues.

Grab metro line #1 at Porte Maillot and it'll take you direct to Bastille in about 20 minutes.

I last flew into Waterford airport in 1998 and the duty-free shop was a prefab hut that the customs man who checked my passport had to open for my dad.
There was no display of goods. INstead you had to ask to see something and all they really had was cigs and fags
