 | Paris From the Airports to Paris Reviews | Tips 31 - 40 of 110 |  |
It's not cheap to get from Charles DeGaulle to Paris, 17+Us Dollars for the Metro. And if your thinking you can get back to the Airport with out a ticket they dont check until the end and you have to pay or you cant get in your RER pass will not work. Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
We always take the Roissy bus from CDG to Opera. It runs every 15 minutes and is right by a metro station. It takes about 45 minutes and last time I checked it cost 7.32 Euro. You might need to check the price before you leave to make sure it hasn't changed. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus |
From the airport (Charles de Gaulle), we took the shuttle to the train.
The subway in Paris is everywhere you want to go. Definitely take advantage of it. While we were there, we noticed a lot of folks roller-blading - even 40-something women in suits use their blades to commute! Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
I got in Paris from Barcelona by plane. From the airport to the city u have two choices, the airfrance bus which will let u at arc d´triunf (I guess), and the RER which will take u to the metro station. I took the RER and when I got at the final station I had the feeling that I wasn´t at a safe place. To get worse all the places where I could buy a metro ticket was closed so after trying to find an open one for some minutes we decided to go without paying.
Inside the city u can either take the bus or the metro. Whenever I could I took the bus because although the metro takes u everywhere, is kinda crowed and dirty. And taking the bus u can see the city. Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
We took the Metro from the airport into Paris and I would never do it again and I wouldn't recommend anyone to do it. It wasn't a good way to start a trip to Paris. First of all we didn't know where to buy the tickets. We, along, with many other tourists kept trying the machines that sell metro tickets but none of them would work. We walked around aimlessly. Finally we found the ticket office and got a ticket. The train ride into Paris really shows you the unattractive parts of Paris so it was not an exciting way to start. You definitely don't hop on a train and view the Eiffel Tower and glorious cafes through the windows. No, you will see industrial areas and lots of litter. Anyways we got off at the train station which was supposed to be near our hotel but of course we were disoriented, jetlagged, and dragging our luggage behind us. We finally found our hotel. We entered it, looked at each other and thought we made the biggest mistake by going to Paris. Anyways of course after a nap, food and going to our first sight, the Notre Dame, we felt much better. I just think you want to start your trip off as easily and positively as possible so catch a shuttle or a taxi as the extra money you will pay is worth it! Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro |

Taking the RER from CDG was a round trip journey. Exactly how we carried everything and managed a toddler in a stroller is what this tip is about. This is what we took: a stroller, a small carry-on tote bag, a backpack, a car seat (Britax Marathon - huge), a large rolling suitcase, and a check-on pack with internal frame. We devised this system for the two of us: My husband pulled the suitcase with the car seat attached to it. He also wore the day back pack. I pushed the stroller while wearing the large back pack with the internal frame and I hung the tote bag on the stroller handles. We did not need any coats on the way in to Paris because all of the movement and carrying kept us HOT! Don't forget to have some water and energy bars handy (we put ours in our tote bag for easy access!) Later on, after we checked the large pieces on our way back, I wore the car seat as a back pack as I pushed the stroller. It was much lighter than the back pack my husband was wearing!

We decided to take a Taxi from the airport to our hotel. If I wasn't traveling with my Mom, I would have taken the Metro. My Mom does not pack light and for this trip she brought everything but the kitchen sink....maybe it was in there her bags were so heavy. The taxi cost us 45 Euros(Jeez...) but Mom was happy.

By plane – From the airports you have excellent connection with the city by RER. It cost 7,60 EURO (march 2002 – from/to Charles de Gaulle Airport), taxi cost about 40-50 EURO, depends on traffic (airport – downtown). By train – all railways stations are connected to the metro system - or by couch.
The best way to see the city is to walk. In case you are tired or you want to reach any place fast choose the metro – underground. 16 lines (14 numbers plus 3 and 7bis) take you everywhere. The best solution is to buy Carte Orange and one-week or longer ticket. Or just one day ticket valid in the metro, buses, RER and funiculaire. It costs 5 EURO. Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
