Re: Transportation to/from airport
Thanks Michel. From personal experience, I prefer the Air France bus line 2, which runs every 15 minutes and it will take you directly to Porte Maillot where the congress center is. http://tinyurl.com/atedq (below the RoissyBus information) Brian Michel Py wrote: Both Orly and CDG airports are serviced by RER B (blue on the map). From Orly you have to take the monorail to get to the Antony station; CDG has direct service. When in RER B, exit the train at Chatelet-Les Halles (some RER trains do not stop at every station but all trains will stop there). At Chatelet-Les Halles connect to RER A direction Cergy - Poissy - Saint-Germain en Laye (red on the map, going west). Exit RER A at the Charles de Gaulle Etoile station (do not confuse with Charles de Gaulle airport). It's the second stop from Chatelet-Les Halles. At Etoile connect to Metro line 1 direction La Defense (yellow on the map). Exit Metro Line 1 at Porte Maillot. It's the second stop from Etoile. As an alternative note that you can connect to Metro line 1 at Chatelet-Les Halles directly from RER B, but the connection tunnel is 1/2 mile long and 1 mile when you're in a rush :-) and there are 9 stops.

Transportation to/from airport
I'm looking at the IETF information page for transport to/from the airport for the upcomomg meeting http://www.ietf.org/meetings/transport_63.html and comparing it with the information I'm finding on the RATP web site. I think something is wrong. The only header on the IETF page is From Charles de Gaulle Airport, and yet most of the instructions seem to be germane for the Orly airport (specifically, the instructions for the Metro Line 1 and the RER line C) -- Clint (JOATMON) Chaplin Wireless Security Technologist Wireless Standards Manager ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf

The only header on the IETF page is From Charles de Gaulle Airport, and yet most of the instructions seem to be germane for the Orly airport (specifically, the instructions for the Metro Line 1 and the RER line C) I you read the From CDG as only applying to the immediately following section (Air France Coaches), it makes more sense. As in: If you're coming from CDG, use the coaches; if you're coming from anywhere else, these are the transit lines and highway exits that serve the Palais des Congres. CDG is served by RER line B, but line B doesn't go anywhere near the Palais des Congres, and the Air France busses are probably faster than transferring between train lines. -- Sam ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
