Hi everyone

I'm new in this forum, it's my first post.

I will be in Paris in January for 2 days and after we going to Val Thorens .

I've got a problem with my snowboard, I'm looking for a service who can transfer my snowboard from the airport Orly to my hôtel, it's possible ?

My girlfriend wants to go to Versailles directly the first day.

Do you have a solution ?

Welcome to the forum.
Why can't you take your snowboard (and also luggage?) to your hotel, then proceed to Versailles? Orly is south of Paris, and Versailles is west. It's easier to get to Versailles from central Paris than from Orly, particularly by train from Montparnasse station. I can't see that you'd save much time going direct to Versailles from Orly and you've got the added complication/expense of finding a way to get your snowboard delivered to your hotel. Won't you also have baggage? They won't let you into Versailles with baggage - they'll make you leave it in a cloakroom for security reasons (which you might have to pay for - I can't remember; it's been a while since I was there).

Apart from the previously suggestion that you go to your hotel first, which seems sensible, you might consider DHL/Fedex/UPS delivering your board directly from your home to your hotel in Val Thorens. We receive skis/boots and even bicycles this way from all over the world.
