Beauvais airport to Bercy

We are travelling from Beauvais airport and hoping to stay in Bercy for Pink concert in March. Can someone advise me which form of transport would be best. I checked on airport website and they do a shuttle service to Train station SNCF ? Not sure where that is! Would we get off there and get on another train that would take us to Bercy? Also was thinking of Claret Hotel. Reviews not great but is in my price range of about £100 per night. Any other suggestions? Thanks

The SNCF train connection transfer from BVA into central Paris is LESS convenient, more complicated and more expensive than the regular BVA SHUTTLE to PORTE MAILLOT.

First you must transfer from BVA to the SNCF train station in downtown BEAUVAIS (4€--25 mins + wait time) then the train from BEAUVAIS into PARIS-Gare du NORD will take another 75-90 mins + wait time(fare:12€-13€) and may involve a train change at CREIL en route to PARIS-GARE du NORD. Then you must make your way from GARE du NORD to your final destination in Paris.

Your best bet is probably going to be to simply exit the BVA terminal and step onto a BVA SHUTTLE coach and take it to its terminus in Paris, near PORTE MAILLOT (approx. 70 mins--fare 13€)...then walk down the block to the PORTE MAILLOT Metro station (approx. 500 meters) and take #1 Metro ligne (heading in the direction of Chàteau de Vincennes) from PORTE MAILLOT to GARE de LYON...then make the switch over to the #14 Metro ligne (heading in the direction od Olympiades) to BERCY. But for simple convenience, you may prefer to select a hotel in the area of Gare de Lyon.

Thanks for your advice. I have now booked a hotel in Gare de Lyon and will take the regular shuttle.

Hi

Not sure about transfer as I am doing the same for oasis 3rd march I did get a great deal on Novotel hotel right next to bercy £129.00euro for night so the money you pay extra is like taxi back to original hotel. I booked online direct with the hotel.

Thanks %26amp; enjoy
