There were plenty of luggage carts, but he didn't have exact change in a foreign currency-the carts AT CDG and in most of Europe are free.

He didn't have any problem with using the trains from the airport into town-probably because there are no trains from any of these airports into town.

That's the French for you-complaining about the amenities, and after all we've done for them.
