If you arrive from another part of Europe, you can travel by train, and if you are arriving from UK, as I did, you can do so either by plane or Eurostar.
On foot! Paris is one of those cities in which walking is really worth. No matter how much you've walked, it's essential to avoid missing anything!
If you aren´t much of a walker person, you can go around by metro, there are many lines that take you almost everywhere. If you're going to the outskirts, you can travel by train. Leave a Comment

Twice I have flown to Paris Beauvais with Ryanair and twice my return flight has been cancelled.
Incidentally, it was the same flight on the same day, one year apart (I had been visiting the Tour de France finale in Paris)
Very dodgy flight. The flight is due to take off at 10:45pm. However, the airport has a 11:00pm noise curfew so if your flight is more than 15 minutes late, you get cancelled. Theme: Airplane

I recommend Air France to take you on your journey. You'll savor a taste of France even before you arrive. The food is excellent and that is very rare for an airline....the wine is excellent! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

A dear friend of mine is headed to Paris today, for the first time in 45 years! She's flying on Air France, first time for her on that airline, and she's a bet trepidatious. Hearing her concerns made me think of my very first trip "across the pond".
There are two options for direct flights from San Francisco to Paris; United and Air France. I'm not sure why we booked Air France for our first trip. No doubt it was less expensive. At any rate, Janet and I were excited, fearful, happy, and a host of other emotions as we borded the flight.
Shortly after takeoff, the French flight attendant was making his first pass down the aisle with the drink cart. "Wuuud you care for zee drink?" he asked with his very French accent. Janet looked over the cart and said "Yes, please, champagne!" The flight attendant held the mini bottle of champagne for her to inspect, as if it were a very special and pricey bottle of Domaine Chandon; "CHAMPAGGNNNNEEEE", he proclaimed! Janet nodded and he unscrewed the top and poured it into her plastic up.
Aha, now we are living the high life!
Note: Since that first trip I have become a United frequent flyer and am dedicated to the acquisition of miles and the world of upgrades and benefits one enters as they work their way up the status levels. On one other occasion I had to fly Air France for some forgotten reason. I found the service grumpy and poor and the bathrooms terribly dirty a short way into the flight. Other than that, the seats in cattle class are all too small, too close together and they only get smaller and closer as the miles tick by. Leave a Comment

Arrive well in advance of your flight. When I flew out of CDG the check in and security queues were absolutely horrendous.
Bring a good book or something. For a major airport, it is remarkably dull and post security we were pretty much locked in a cage and unable to move around.
For Paris transfers, the RER connects the airport via line B with the city. There are two RER stations at the airport - one at Terminal 2, the other at Terminal 3. If you are meeting someone there, make sure you are waiting at the right station :) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
