This spring our multigeneratonal family is travelling to Paris and Normandy on a 10 day trip. An itinerary summary is: upon arrival in Paris, we will spend one day in Paris before catching a train to Renne, renting cars in Renne for five days in Normandy, ending in Versailles, turning in cars and relocating back to Paris for the remainder of the time. We have 11 people which includes 3 small children ( No older folks with limited mobility). There are four times in the itinerary in which we need to transport or relocate the group with luggage using public transportation.
- from CDG to Paris hotel (not sure which one yet)
- from hotel to Gare Montparnasse. (on way to Renne and Normandy area, using cars in Normandy)( this one could be eliminated if the first hotel is with in walking distance to Gare Montparnasse)
- to Paris hotel upon returning on train from Versailles ( spending a few days with vehicles in that area, but turning them in before returning to Paris)
- Final trip from Paris hotel to CDG for departure.
My concern is traveling with this group on the metro because of pick pockets. We use all public transportation without our luggage in tow, but I know distracted travelers with luggage and kids are targets. ( I learned the hard way.) So if you have any advise. it will be welcomed. I am looking for a shuttle company, thinking these four rides might be worth it. Most of my research into companies is coming up dry and everything I find on the forum is old. Does anyone have first hand recommendations of shuttle companies or other suggestions? Proper children's car seats need to be arranged also. I have heard this is possible but need recommendations. Thank you so much!
