Paris: www.skyeurope.com Caution: Skyeurope has filed bankruptcy protection against its creditors. They ensure that all flights will take place as planned.
It seems true for now, but the Orly airport has stopped one of their flights because Skyeurope owes them money.
So if you plan to fly with them, shortly before you go to the airport, make sure with them and the airport that the flight will leave as planned.

- Once in Prague, you will not need your car any more because most of the sightseeing and entertainment are concentrated in a small pedestrian area, so choose a good accomodation in the center (with Rentego !) and put your car in a safe parking (as there are many car thefts). Budget about 500 CZK/24hrs.You can check your itinerary and travel time at www.viamichelin.com
By train:
might be a good solution if you arrive from one of neighbouring countries (Austria, Germany, Poland). Until now trains are not very competitive from further destinations.
