Hi!
We will be arriving at CDG in November (12pm) and plan to head to Metz same day. (Long haul flight/ lack of sleep not a concern as we will be coming from a stop over). I was set on taking a train (4 of us) however upon researching and pricing out options, I am thinking a car would certainly be more economical and plus side provide more flexability.
Train option - would need uber from CDG to Gare de l'Est (45 minutes?), train to Metz. Return two days later, Train to Gare de'Est, uber to Paris apartment.
Rental Car - pick up at CDG drive to Metz, (have not researched parking options, staying at Hotel de la Cathedrale). Would allow a detour to Nancy perhaps though we are only there 2 nights. Return - drive back to CDG, uber to Paris apartment.
Have taken a train from CDG before, not never picked up a rental car -- overall easy expierence? And should note, we have driven in France previously.
Price is a consideration, but convenience probably wins out. I am sure there are a thing or two I am not considering and would welcome any feedback! Thank you! Thank you!
