Could someone please advise which airport is the nearest to the Bercy area of Paris?

Question

I'm over for a couple of days (with the wife) to see the forthcoming Stevie Wonder concert (and do some sight seeing). Trouble is, I don't know where I'm going (travelling from London Stansted airport)?! Any advice would be gratefully appreciated...

Answer 1

The Bercy is in the 12th arrondissmenet of Paris. I suspect that you are not familiar with Paris and therefore aren't aware of its relative size as compared to London. Paris is far more compact and has a transportation net that is far denser.

As between landing at CDG or Orly there is little difference since travel time to the city by public transport is roughly equal.

Beauvais Airport on the other hand, where  many of the low cost flights arrive, is far from Paris (some 55 mules north) and quite inconvenient.

If you are considering taking a hotel room close to any airport then don't. Stay in central Paris. It will make sightseeing far, far more convenient.
