It was easy then to get up, have breakfast and head off for your flight.
We usually try to fly out around lunchtime so that we arrive home in the evening of the next day.
That way we can go to bed and hopefully get a good night's sleep.
Staying in a hotel at Roissy near Charles De Gaulle Airport is a good option.
The first time we stayed at the Hilton because we found a great deal on the internet (otherwise it is a bit expensive for us ).
The hotel was very nice and the breakfast there was lovely but expensive.
They also ran a free shuttle bus to the airport that (supposedly) ran every 15 minutes.
Although this is a good option, you have to vie with other patrons for a place on the bus and airline flight crews staying at the hotel seem to get priority.
Recently, we stayed in a Novotel which was very good too.
We dropped our hire car back at the airport the caught the free airport shuttle train to the hotel.
It was just two quick stops on the free train that travels between terminals and comes along at regular intervals of about 5 to 10 minutes. There is plenty of room on this train for your luggage and NO STAIRS to negotiate and no step onto the train pulling your suitcase on wheels, so easy all the way.
Then the entrance to the hotel is right there on the station!!
The rooms are very spatious with a large double bed AND a couch/sofa bed. We paid 19 euro each for a two course dinner that night and 14 euro for a fantastic breakfast before we checked out - all in all a fantastic deal and great accommodation.
The best part for us was, we were in control. When we were ready, we walked through the door and onto the platform rolling our suitcses along with us, caught the next shuttle train and arrived at the terminal with no stress.
It was so easy we will stay ther in the future when the opportunity arises.
