Wife to Paris.

I'm sure its been covered before, but here goes. The wife wants to join me to Paris. Were laying over at the Novotel Eiffel Tower.
-Assume she cant ride into city with us, whats her best/easiest way in?
-How about the return. Is there enough time for her if she rides with us?

Thanks

Train isn’t bad

If traveling with the wife I would recommend get a cab or (I would do this) coordinate a private transportation company.

Train works great! I just did this past week between Paris & CDG. Follow signs from baggage claim and will cost 20.60 Euro for two tickets

You can now exit and go with her. Choices are train, AirFrance bus or cab. If you take the train/metro you will beat the crew to the hotel on a weekday. Make sure you know which hotel. Some of the Novotel layovers have been moved to the Hyatt. Bid package is not always correct. If you are leaving on a weekend just have her ride the bus with you. If a weekday you can check if there is a crew bus leaving a bit earlier. They cut off non rev checkin 90 minutes prior. Cabs are fixed price to and from the airport not metered.

I think he is hoping for Gypsies.
