Paris CDG or Beauvais

I'm flying to Paris in April and can get a flight for almost half the
price by flying to Beauvais (£59 v £120). I know Beauvais is a long
way out but what would folks recommend I do. Pay the extra and have a
shorter journey or is the trip from Beauvais tolerable?

Thanks.

No, it's a right royal pain in the arse. It's cramped and slow, and to
cap it all, you get off at Porte Maillot, which is another fifteen
minutes on foot from the nearest tube stop.

Unless you're a pauper, my advice would be to fly into CDG, and then
arrive at the Gare du Nord as fresh as a daisy.

Personally I would go to CDG. Note that the RER B train is the
cheapest way to get to Gare du Nord, at EUR8.40 (last time I checked).
Your trek to your departure airport in the UK will also be easier, if
you take a British Airways web fare from Heathrow for example. I
don't think it is as much as £120,

Depends on the time of your return flight ie will you have to sleep in
Beauvais on the way out ?
Yes it is feasible, un pleasant but feasible.

....not forgetting the price of the RER to Paris !

In CDG the RER B trains to Gare du Nord, Chatelet etc... arrive inside
terminal 2.
T1 an T2 are linked by light metro.
cost : 8.40 € and 25 mn (8.90 € with Roissybus)

In Paris the Ryanair bus stop is on the West side and edge of Palais
des Congrés. The metro and RER are 5 mn away on its East side. map :
http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com/img/plan_paris.gif
Beauvais is 80 km away (1 h15 mn) and it costs 13 € or 26 € for return
ticket :
http://www.paris-beauvais.fr/?gclid=...FRdatAodlAdMmQ
In Beauvais airport the Ryanair bus stop in just in front the exit of
luggage room.

The local bus stop to the railways station is just the other side of
the street next to the fenced car park and costs about 1 €.
map : http://www.beauvais.fr/pages/aimerbv...planreseau.jpg
timetables of line 12 (or 11B partial during week ends or public
holidays) on pages 30 to 35 : http://www.beauvais.fr/pages/accueil...eil=centre.php
To print, since no timetable in the bus shelter next to railways
station !

For Beauvais visit : http://www.beauvais.fr/eng/
Rather well rebuilt despite WWII destructions : cathedral, tapestry
museum, bishop palace (museum), church, roman wall & ruins, few timber
houses on the spared edges.

The trains arrive at gare du Nord :
http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com/acces.php?lang=eng
http://www.ter-sncf.com/picardie/index.asp
it takes 1 h 20 mn and costs 12 € or 24 € for returm ticket

So with the 1 € local bus that makes 13 €, similar to Ryanair bus .
