You flying with Ryanair? They did run a bus from the airport and it dropped you off at the Irish bar in central Paris ..

Though that was a right few years ago (20!!!)

But do not go into said Irish Bar unless you enjoy being fleeced.

Thats it. Flew home from there a few months back. Metro fo Port Maillot then bus to airport...40mins or so. Not much in that airport.

Remember us getting off at Port Maillot and having an oysters and amazing white wine meal at a corner restaurant nearby thinking this was the life. Had a right day about Paris for our first day before heading back to our depressing Etap hotel with it's camper van bathroom on the far side of the Boulevard Peripherique, having to pass by junkies and alcos on an undesignated unlit underpass with no footpath. The alcohol helps sometimes.

Sad to see the Notre Dame Cathedral engulfed in flames this evening.

Terrible! Some history lost.

Awful. The spire is gone and it's spreading to the towers. This is not looking good.  :'(

Capt Pat

I never got to see it. I was always thinking of taking a trip to Paris but have never been.

RedHand88

Unbelievable to think it survives 850 years of European history and everything that it entailed, but gets destroyed within a few hours on a Monday evening in April 2019, probably due to the renovations.

The spire is only 150 years old

But yeah, terrible all the same

Was in it a few times. Magnificent building. Very sad to watch it burn. Hopefully it will be restored properly.
