A trip to Paris?

If you are short on time, try this itinerary from Eurostar.

A more leisurely method of seeing the city

Need a cheap way to travel - try car shares.

Or let the train take the strain: Eurostar, Directrail.com, City breaks from LastMinute, guide from TripAdvisor, TrainLine, or this AMAZING international rail travel planner, TrainLine ticket search,

Cheverny seems a good hotel...find it here Or the EdenMagenta.

Public transport: from airport and throughout the city (more here)

Mobilis: A 1-day pass covering (except airport services) zones 1 & 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5 or 1 to 6. The non-transferable ticket voucher can be purchased in advance and you should fill in the date you decide to use it. NB: this card is valid for one full day and not for 24 consecutive hours, meaning the whole day would be counted even if you only start to use the pass at 8 in the evening, so it is far better start first thing in the morning!

Paris Visite: This pass is valid for 1, 2, 3 or 5 consecutive days in zones 1 to 3 or 1 to 6. The coupon slides into a card specifying your name, a photo is not required. The coupon can be purchased in advance and you should fill in the date you decide to use it and the number of the card. NB: this card is valid for full days and not for 24, 48 or 72 consecutive hours, meaning that a whole day would be counted even if you only begin to use it at 8 in the evening, so it is far better to start first thing in the morning! As a rule, when you buy your coupon, the ticket seller will receive a « Paris Tourisme » map and an SNCF map. But if not, do not hesitate to ask for them
