The Intercity train from Amiens to Paris Gare du Nord was on time both times .... a fast and quiet trip. The Maze of Death proved to be un-deathlike so that we got to Line B, down two levels, with little or no problem. The only problem was pain-in-the-six young Arab chap who tried to flim-flam us at the ticket machine. I politely told him to depart swiftly ... which he eventually, after a bit of insistence, did. Beggars can sometime be crafty little ferrets!
The train to CDG airport was packed ... as always. We thought for few minutes that we had been transported through some sort of Star Gate to North Africa but, no. We reminded ourselves that we in Paris again and that civilized, well mannered behaviuor was not to be expected from the denizens of the City of Lights. That comment applied well to the taxi driver at the airport ... "Me no speekee inguish mister ... etc etc"; what avoisdupois mon petit chou!
The Millenium Hotel CDG is fine.
It's better to travel than arrive ... then again ...
