Paris Air Show 2013

The only things Jeff left out: 1. A pacemaker - - so you don't die from excitement 2. A rag - - on account of you're going to drool a lot 3. Good shoes and socks - - to save your knees Le Bourget is the stop on the RER B line. There's a bus from the station that will take you to the airport and museum. You can hop the RER at Paris Nord, the same place you get off the Eurostar from London. About a mile / fifteen minute walk south of the museum, there's an Ibis (Accor chain) that's generally about sixty to seventy bucks a night. If you don't get a reservation somewhere pretty soon you're going to have to go back and forth to town.

Jim, if perchance you find yourselves stuck with a hotel in Paris itself, the bus No. 350 which you can get at Gare de l'est, will take you le Bourget. If you arrive on the Eurostar at the Gare du Nord it is a short walk to the Gare de l'est.
