Question for getting to Connelles, France

I need help. I am staying at a timeshare resrot, Sunterra%26#39;s Le Manoir de deux Amants.

I am traveling alone and do not want to rent a car.

What are my other options?

Train? Bus?

Are we talking about Connelles in the Seine valley? Not far from Rouen?

If so, I think the closest station is at Val-de-Reuil, perhaps about 10km away. Val de Reuil is on the Paris-Rouen line, but only a few trains actually stop there. Probably a bit over an hour from Gare St. Lazare in Paris.

You can check timetables at voyages-sncf.com. Only the slow trains to Rouen, those taking 1.5 hours or longer, will stop at V. de R. and I am not sure if even all of them do.

My guess is that the only way to get from V. de R. to your timeshare would be by taxi. Could you email the resort and ask them?

Jen, you could do your part by providing us some info about the place you are staying. Nobody outside the Normandy region has ever heard of Connelles, and I had to look it up on viamichelin to find where it was. It seems to be a village 5-10 km from Louviers in the Eure département. Correct?

In which case there are many trains to Louviers ex Paris Saint-Lazare with a change at Val de Reuil. It%26#39;s about 2 hours. Actual schedule on voyages-sncf.fr, enter %26quot;Paris%26quot; as departure and %26quot;Louviers%26quot; as arrival. I guess you can get a cab from Louviers station. You%26#39;d find more info on the Connelles side on the Normandy forum.

As noted, your best---least complicated--bet from CDG to--

Le MANOIR de DEUX AMANTS, 40 ter Route d%26#39;Amfreville sous-les-monts RD 19, Connelles, 27430

by public transport, is going to be to come into Paris to GARE SAINT LAZARE (by any of several airport transfer routes--approx 50-60 mins) and then take a SNCF train from GARE SAINT LAZARE to VAL de REUIL station (approx 70 mins)...and then most likely a taxi from the train station to 12 km to the hotel in Connelles.

The problems with this routing are the train schedules There is a direct train from Paris to VAL de REUIL at 08:16 AM...but then there is a lapse in direct service until 12:04 PM. As noted, there are other possible connecting routes but all will be longer, more complicated and involve the same general time frame.

There is regional bus service connections from SNCF Gare Val-de-Reuil to Connelles...but all this probably does is add another level of complication--
