Transfer from CDG into Paris
Anyone got any tips for decent services? I'm landing in Paris with luggage plus a bike bag so need to get an estate car (station wagon), SUV or minivan rather than hoping to freestyle with a normal taxi

Just go to the licensed taxi rank. There will be plenty of taxi vans able to accommodate your belongings.

Depending on your hotel, the concierge should be able to arrange a transfer in an appropriate vehicle, but this will be expensive.

I used to use Supershuttle for transfers, since I travel w/luggage. When they shutdown in late December 2019, I booked my Jan 2020 transfers w/Parisshuttle. They seem to book through a German travel agency. Considering the strike and transit problems, they were adequate. But ask and make sure you get in writing any additonal charges for more than one large piece of luggage & one carry-on. I meant to ask at CDG which other shuttles were operating, but I'm small and the bags were too cumbersome to move around much. I plan to ask more on my next transit mid-March. If you need the contact numbers, email, send me a message & I'll look them up for you..

Is there a direct train from CDG to Gare de Lyon? I will have a bunch of luggage, and my hesitancy in taking a train would be having to lug the bags up and down stairs in the train stations. However, I don't know if the train station at CDG and Gare de Lyon has escalators or elevators.
Are there escalators or elevators to the platforms for the train at CDG and Gare de Lyon? My hotel is near Gare de Lyon, and the train would be the most convenient if it is accessible.
Thanks.

Parisbytrain.com is very helpful with ticket info, pictures and maps of stations, etc.
