1 - The hotel want 140 each way for airport shuttle off us so I would rather waste that money on a good dinner and use public transport. Just how easy is it to get to Concorde Metro from Terminal 2 at CDG.
That's an extortionate price. You can book a taxi with the leading cab company, taxis G7, which is a reliable and professional provider:

or with one of several minicab companies such as Le Cab. I would guess the price from CDG to Place de la Concorde to be around EUR 50-60 with a taxi, each way.
