Getting from Charles de Gaulle Airport to central Paris
Posted by CD • 5:11pm
The most inexpensive way to get to central Paris from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is the Roissybus. In 2010 the fare for a one way ticket was 9.10 Euros and it takes about 45-60 minutes to get from the airport to Opéra, where it’s a short walk to the Métro.

End of a nice ride
Posted by CD • 3:50pm
Went on the first Wheelworks scooter club ride (they hope to have them every other Sunday). Bill and Suzy rode a fine red GTS 250. It was a great route to the south of Eugene, winding past a lot of panting bike riders and a few wild turkeys. Everyone smiles when they see a Vespa. I topped the tank off on Monday and recorded an astounding 104.6 mpg. Vespas get great gas mileage. More DavazNet Vespa links | Wheeworks Eugene on Facebook
