2 comments on the non expensive ways to get in/out of CDG
- automatic vending machines accept only CC with chips (before mainly used in France, now expanding in others countries in Europe).
At least in CDG, the machines should be able to accept foreign traditionnal cards. Otherwise you'll have to go a counter with usually long queues.
The CC with chip are indeed better and safer, but so far it is not the world standard, and in an international airport, it's up to the country to adapt itself to the visitors and not the reverse at least for this. Basically we are customers of Aeroport de Paris through the taxes
- a minimum to do would be to get the train drivers telling the RER annoucements in English on the segments CDG- Gare du Nord
This is a cost free improvement, and could be so much more user friendly to the non french speakers
