I have spoken to many hotels in my life.
Most have had airport shuttles. A few have not.
Somehow the conversation wherein I find out that there are no airport shuttles takes on a degree of surreality when I hear someone say "$HotelName[1], bonsoir" while the sun is *clearly* shining upon the surroundings.
(My surroundings. Not theirs.)
Also, I now know more than I ever through I would need to about how to get from Charles de Gaulle airport to central Paris. And in knowing, know that I know nothing.
This knowing of nothing may explain why no-one to whom I have sent my carefully compiled list of options for getting from CDG to downtown Paris actually bothered to read the thing. I fume.
EDIT: Okay, half of them did not read it. The other half thanked me kindly for my efforts. I am considerably mellowed.

[1] I understand that correctly speaking, this should be $HOTELNAME. I can't do it. The long-inculcated habit of not using allcaps is apparently too strong today.
