We will be in Manarola June 24-27, then on to Paris.
The plan is to take the train to Genoa and fly on Volotea direct to Paris CDG, departing 11am.
There is a train departing around 7am to Genoa, arriving around 9:05am. It appears the airport in Genoa is quite small, have we allowed enough time to get checking in (about 2 hours)?
Thanks!
Hi Kevin. I'll let others comment on Genoa question. Unclear from your post whether you have already purchased your Genoa flight. If not, you could consider instead training south to Pisa and flying on Easy jet to Paris Orly.
Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for the idea!
What would be the best way to go from Orly into Paris? Our hotel is near Gare de Lyon station.
You also need about half hour from the time you get off the train at the Genova Piazza Principe station to the time you are at the airport (taxi or shuttle bus)
1.5 hours prior to departure is however still sufficient for a flight from GOA.
If you look for a flight from Pisa to Paris ORY, be aware that you will need to change trains at La Spezia. Not necessarily longer than going to Genoa, since there are some faster trains from La Spezia to Pisa, however a change is required.
Pisa has more flights than Genoa.
From Orly to the hotel I would take a taxi, especially with substantial luggage. The cost is high (50-60 euro) but convenient. You could also take the OrlyVal train to the metro, then the Metro to Les Halles, and then a RER train to Gare de Lyon but you have to make changes.
Correction vs. the post above: the cost of a taxi from Orly to Gare de Lyon is fixed at 37€ for up to 4 passengers. A great deal compared to public transit! And much better than before the introduction of fixed fares (I once paid - and thankfully expensed - 80€ on a bad traffic day...).
