    Like now, almost midnight, I worry about not enough time from CDG to catch the train from Gare Bercy. Only carry on luggage, WOW airline from New York to CDG, arrive 11:30 am. Need to catch 14:00 train from Gare Bercy. Do I have enough time ? 2.5 hours ? With non EU passport

    Average daily budget

    I booked the flight for May and now looking for the first three nights accommodation. Just curious, from MMDD, a long list of places to stay, how you pick up the one you prefer? Mostly they don't have website or from booking site, how do you know that is the one you want to stay?
