Paris

[scooby]

Hi all

When we come next year, we'd like to take our children for a day or two in Paris to see the usual (not Disney..). Our options are to stop on the way down to our place at Lathus or to take a train back to Paris from this area.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to which would be easiest - we've no idea how long the train takes from Poitiers (or the cost!)

Many thanks

Hi Scooby,

Whenever we've ventured out into the big bad world and travelled to Paris we've used the train.

We drove into Paris once. Never again. Traffic is a nightmare and parking even worse.....this coming from a couple who are used to driving around London.

If you want, you can drive to Poitiers and park in the multi-storey next to the station.

By far the easier option is to get a local train from Montmorillon to Poitiers (about 45 min trip) and then the TGV to Paris (just under 90 minutes).

Sorry, but I can't remember the cost although memory tells me it didn't lead to an attack of the vapours.
