CDG to Pais

Just a quick question if anyone can help out please......





we%26#39;re travelling to Paris for the day on Wednesday.





We land at 0930 and are wanting to go to the top of the tower first.





We then thought we would take the bike tour at 1500. This last 3.5 hours - ending at 1830.





Will we have enough time to get back to CDG for our flight at 2035? We have no luggage to check in and are flying Flybe.





Many thanks

The quickest is the RER (B line) and with no luggage you can walk fast to your terminal. The RER from St. Michel takes 30 minutes. Check if there is an RER or Merto with an easy link to the RER B. It is quite tight. Taxi or bus might be caught in the rush hour traffic.

Realistically no, you will not have sufficient time to guarantee your making your flight.





Here%26#39;s why:





1. From whatever Métro station you find yourself to St. Michel - 20+ minutes.





2. St. Michel to CDG Terminal 2, 30 minutes en route as stated with trains every 15 minutes - allow 45 minutes.





3. Time to reach terminal 1 (departure gates for Flybe) from the RER in terminal 2 - 20 to 25 minutes.





4. Time to pass through security and reach your gate - 15 to 30 minutes.





If you had absolutely no unforeseen delay, you ran when possible rather than walked, you knew exactly where to go and how to find each en route departure point, there were no lines at security, and you had already checked in and had your boarding passes in hand, you might be able to make it.





More than likely you%26#39;ll arrive at your departure gate just in time to watch the airplane push back and to wave it goodbye.
