The bus leaves the airport every 15 minutes. It
takes about 30 minutes to get to Carnot.
The fare is 10 Euro per person each way.
We caught the bus at the same location on our
journey home.
It also leaves there every 15 minutes from 5:30
AM - 11:00 PM.
Get on the right bus, there are two or 3 different
ones.
Monday at noon we started out for Dr. Badois'
clinic for my 2:30 appointment. The Metro is just a block away near the
Arc de Triomphe. A Metro ticket was 2.30 Euro.
We took the #2 metro from "Charles de Gaulle-
Etoile" to "Barbes Rochechouart", which is the 10th stop.
Then transferred to #4 to "Gare du Nord" - One
stop.
This is the train/metro/bus station. We went
to the next floor and purchased rural train tickets to "direction Pontoise".
This was train #34 and it left every 30 minutes.
The cost was 4.50 euro each, one way.
We purchased return tickets.
We got off at "Enghien Les Bains" station (about
the 5th stop) this took about 15-20 minutes.
We climbed the stairs, turned right. There was
a line of bus stops slopping down the hill.
We took #11 North to "Hotel de Ville de Soisy".
We asked the driver to tell us when we where there.
We were on the bus for about 5 minutes.
We got off on the same side of the road as the clinic.
We walked back about 300 meters and found his
clinic between Pharmacy (green cross) and a medical lab.
We buzzed him at the controlled entry then went
up two flights of stairs to his office.
Dr. Badois' clinic is the entrance below the green cross.
Getting back
We caught the #11 bus across the road from where
we were let off. This took us back to the "Enghien Les Bains" station.
We went through the doors where the bus let us
off and the train stop was right there. We headed back to Gare du
Nord station where we caught the #4 metro to "Barbes Rochechouart". (one
stop) Then the #2 heading towards Porte Dauphine. We got off at the
10th stop which was Charles de Gaulle- Etoile, a block from our hotel.
Dr. Badois is in a suburb of Paris called Soisy
Sous Montmorency.
If you would like to stay close by, there is
a hotel right where you get off the #11 bus "Hotel de Ville de Soisy".
I do not know the rates but it must be far cheaper
than rooms right in Paris.
And it is only a short bus/train ride into Gare
de Nord Station - Paris.
Gare de Nord is where you can get the Paris Metro
and Euro Star train.
There may not be a lot to do around Hotel de
Ville de Soisy but it is less expensive.
We booked our hotel through our travel agent.
They had given us a book provided by Holiday
Network .
We paid $150.00 Canadian per night. (the 6th
night was free)
We noticed their rates posted at the hotel were
considerably higher.
Watch what you drink from the Mini Bar, it's
expensive.
The hotel has many pamphlets for side trips that
you can book through them.
We booked our trip to London,
England through Sam at the front desk as well
as our night at Lido.
The hotel address is: 1 Rue Brey - 75017 Paris
19 Avenue de Wagram - 75017 Paris
It is on the corner, actually on Rue Brey, so
I guess it has two addresses.

We heard that as of February 28/02 the Franc was
no longer legal tender in France.
