  • The science museum is an absolute must, you could spend the best part of a day there. My kids love going on the open top buses anywhere we go, they give a great overview of a place and you can hop on and off all day on one ticket. The Eiffel Tower went down a storm with mine (7 & 8 at the time), but make sure you go back and see it all lit up at night as well (and try and see Paris on the bus at night too, esp. the Moulin Rouge). I even somehow managed to whip up some enthusiasm for the Louvre by telling them how famous some of the works of art were! Anytime I felt them getting bored we stopped for hot chocolate and crepes at a street stall... yum yum. Teach them a few words of french - getting a reaction from a local just by saying please or thankyou can be quite empowering for them.


    Have a great time! :D

    Thank you paulie558

    We have another problem in that the flight lands at 22.00 at CDG, but have just checked on the vea.fr website, and the buses stop at around 21.00 on a Sunday !!!!


    Hello

    We had the same problem as we're going in April and our flight lands at 21.30, someone told me about a shuttle bus, the website is https://www.silvershuttle.biz, they're cheaper than the VEA bus and wait for you at your terminal and run right through the night, we got confirmation from them within a day, good luck

    Slightly off topic - When are you travelling?

    We just got back from Paris and just to warn you if your trip is v.v.soon, it is bloomin freezing there at the moment (siberian winds apparently).

    So take plenty of warm clothing - we have never been so cold before. I wore 9 layers one day and was still shivering! A brilliant place still though.

    get one day for £28 and upgrade in the park to an annual pass, costs another 40 euros and is valid in both parks, at least that's what was on offer last saturday.

    Hello,

    We are due to visit Disneyland Paris shortly. Our flight arrives at CDG at 10pm, but the VEA stops at 9.30pm.

    Someone previously mentioned silvershuttle, but they have gone bust. Does anyone know how much a taxi is? Or of any other way to get there. The VER doesnt run at that time.

    We are staying at the Holiday Inn with 2 young children, so we thought a taxi would be best as it would be direct.

    Thanks in advance.

    We were at Disneyland Paris in April and used Eurominibus email them at info@eurominibus.com for a quote, they were waiting for us when we landed at 10pm in Paris CDG and the transfers went very smoothly, we also stayed at the Holiday Inn, if you need any tips or advice on staying there don't hesitiate to ask.
