Resting after overnight flight
We hope to arrive at CDG early on the morning of 2 April after an overnight
flight from Singapore. We will pick up a lease car at the airport and then drive to Vlissingen in Holland (about 400 km). Seeing as I am a terribly bad sleeper (probably won't sleep at all) we were thinking of taking a few hours rest/sleep close to the airport. But where is the question? Do chains like Formule 1 let you have a room for several hours during the day? Or is there a hotel like facility at CDG? Or any other solution? Thanks in advance. Gerrit - Oz |

Resting after overnight flight
There are a few hotels near the airport, but not in the
airport itself. (AFAIK). CDG consists of five separate terminals, connected with bus.

Do chains like Formule 1 let you have a room
for several hours during the day? I don't know specifically about the hotel chain you mentioned, but I think most hotels would charge you for 1 day even if you check out after a few hours.

There is (or was in 2000) an Ibis hotel that is fairly reasonable at CDG airport. -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

James ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Remove "NOSPAM" from my address when sending me e-mail. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - Another possible complication with needing a room early in the morning is that most hotel's check-in times are in the afternoon, with check-out times in the late morning. Sometimes in order to have a room during the daytime hours you require, you have to reserve the room for the night prior to your arrival. And, if you want to keep the room later than the check-out time, for the arrival night also. Having said that, some of the airport hotels could have special day use rates and it might be worth contacting some to inquire. There's a list at http://www.paris-cdg.com/hotels.html . Bon voyage!

The Envergure Group, which own the excellent Climat chain of hotels, has
others in their Kyriad Prestige, Campanile and Première Classe within a few kilometers of CDG. Their website is http://www.envergure.fr/envergureen.html "Gerrit 't Hart" wrote in message . au...

Viamichelin says it's 335km and a 3h19 drive. You can take advantage of the new Westerscheldetunnel to get to Vlissingen. Do chains like Formule 1 let you have a room for several hours during the day? Or is there a hotel like facility at CDG? Or any other solution? Formule 1 hotels are just interested in your creditcard number Sure you can stay there for a short time. The rate of approx. 27,50 for the room will remain the same however. There is one at the Garonor exit, which is very close to CDG, but you'll actually drive in the direction of Paris (instead of Holland). It should be a 5 - 10 min. drive from CDG. On the A1 highway you'll come across several F1 and likewise hotels, so you could also opt to drive up north and stop at the first opportunity. http://www.hotelformule1.com/formule1/index.html Yorick. |
