A, B,C, D, E, and  F.

.     When returning a rental car or flying out of CDG it is important to know the
terminal number; One, Two, or Three.

hotels, rental cars,
bus/subway service,  and a new train station.

and the train station for the
RER Trains and its connection to the subway system.

to the Metro.  If you are carrying heavy suitcases, however,  you will find

suitcases up several flights of stairs when exiting the subway (Metro) station or

Ireland's Shannon Airport
What To Wear in Paris:
Paris has a climate similar to the mid USA at sea level,
cool winters but not much ice or snow, warm to hot
summers, light rain in Spring.
RyanAir  from Shannon serves Paris-Beauvais Airport,(BVA) about 80 KM north of Paris.  A shuttle bus
from Beauvais reaches
Paris in one hour.  Train service is not available.  
.
To Paris
Ryan Air out of Shannon (SNN) for example, to Paris/Beauvais (BVA) lists at 34 Euros  round trip plus
charges for luggage and other extras, (check the long list of extras before booking) for the one hour flight.  
RyanAir, serves dozens of obscure or satellite  European cities and offers at times $20 and $30 dollar
flights with many add on charges for luggage, booking fees, etc. Check the extras before booking.  
From Gatwick, a shuttle for $35. to the Standsted Airport served by RyanAir with  fights to
other parts of France could result in significant savings for those with the stamina to make several plane
changes and those with a flexible schedule.

A flight from
London's Standsted to Marseille for example recently listed at 15 Euros ($20 USD) plus tax
 and an additional charge for luggage which could make the total cost an attractive $45 USD.  
While the price sounds tempting, the flight has
unreserved first come, first served seating and limited
daily flights.  Luggage  over 15 kg is extra and there are many add on charges.   
For
independent and flexible travelers this airline is worth a look but for most travelers needing a level of
comfort and a firm schedule and seat assignment, these offerings could lead to an unacceptable level of
anxiety.  
The best bet is to fly directly into CDG.
Otherwise you might go through Ireland's Shannon or London's Heathrow where you
will go through customs and immigration and could be delayed for your flight to
Paris.
Air Travel Reservations to Paris must be realistic; can you really run from
the
international terminal to the domestic terminal in half an hour?  Give
yourself about
two and a half to three hours for a connection that requires a trip
through customs and immigration.
