If I’m planning to take the TGV train, would you recommend booking in advance, or is the price the same if buying it at CDG airport?
Thanks! 🙂
Hi Paul,
It is advised to book in advance as they are cheaper especially if booking 3 months in advance. There is also the possibility that the train will be full at peak times & there will be no tickets for sale at the time you arrive.
Kind Regards
Billy
Anyone can provide a contact for a service to take a family of 10 members from CDG to DLP and vice versa ? Magic shuttle is not within our time arrivals/departures
Hi Irene,
We have always used a private shuttle company & they will do groups of 9+ for €24pp return.
Their website is – http://www.rstransports.com/
We have used them multiple times (family of 4) & found them excellent value & service.
Kind Regards
