audio Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Sounds like your well prepared.No need for translation, they speak good French there.The address you have is probably where to send the application, if you dial up visas on their website, you will find that they give the consulate address for the interview.I cannot think of anything else, they basically want you to prove you have good reason for returning to France and be financially covered during your stay.Don’t take offence but if you have any criminal record your chances are slim.

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks audio.I have no criminal history, so that's good.I might add one more piece of info and that being the right to health care here. I've just had my 5th anniversary in France and from what I understand, if I am out of France more than two years, I'll lose that right and have to start again.

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I can get a basic health care package through the college. $88 per semester!However, I need to find out if that only covers me while I'm actually at college or all the time throughout the semester.

Russethouse Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 [quote user="audio"]Had a look at ATL, Delta arrives at concourse E, same as AF.So you have to board the transit to the main terminal after security screening.If you really want to buy liquid duty free during the flight or at LHR, you may be able to place these in your checked bags at ATL after immigration and before you board the train.[/quote]I'll wait until I fly out to by any liquids and it sounds like quite a schlep so I'll try to keep my hand baggage fairly light too. Coming back I'm transferring there (flying in from Hilton Head/Savannah) but I'm catching a shuttle bus to the hotel when I arrive......I have a feeling this is going to be exhausting whichever way I do it....[:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audio Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 [quote user="Mr Coeur de Lion"]Last time I flew from CDG was on a Sunday (in early July). Hardly any traffic about at all. My flight was 11am, so I had to be there by 9am. I drove up from the Loire Valley, so a similar route once on the outskirts of Paris, but I'd advise taking the autoroute, it's simpler and the airport is well sign posted. Just follow signs for Lille, and then airport signs will follow. This is the anti clockwise direction. Are you flying with your dog?[/quote]Mr Coeur de Lion,I have a map at last. Do you take the A10 then route N104 Evry....A104...signs to CDG?A gps routes directly via Notre Dame, not a good route I would have thought but the shortest perhaps.

betty Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Audio, My son is a USC, he routes from our house in Brittany to Paris CDG 2 or 3 times a year. I will ask him the best way and send you a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Sorry for the lateness of reply audio.Off the top of my head that sounds right, it's definitely the autoroute route I take as opposed to the BP.I seem to go a different way everytime I go though, but I manage to wing it! As long as you follow the signs for Lille, CDG appears. You go past Orly, or signs for Orly before you hit signs for CDG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 [quote user="audio"] ATT. Russethouse Warning/Advice AtlantaDepending on which airline and arrival terminal, you may have to board a transit train. This requires another security screening after immigration checks even if you continue your journey by road.Do not buy any expensive liquids such as drink or perfume, they will be confiscated.This applied to Air France earlier this year, Delta I do not know but it may have all changed by now. [/quote] Thanks for the info on Atlanta airport, a very odd and protracted arrangement - not my firtst choice airport I must say.Also weather has been unseasonably warm which could have pleasant, but the humidity was something else!

Zafra Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I am planning to visit my friend at Paris in may and will be arriving at CDG airport. I am thinking of having a hotel at Disneyland.Are there any alternative and cheaper route going there? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 quoteWoolybanana. Back from there? What is it like? svpSorry for the late reply, I have only just returned.If you were referring to the route to CDG, the traffic was horrendous (Sunday evening) and on the drive home the traffic was moving well (Tuesday 11am) but the drivers around Paris are absolutely crazy in my opinion.
