Don't know about taxi but I;ve just booked a shuttle mini bus which takes you from CDG to Your accommodation for 18 euros per person. Sounds good to me!

is this the one that when you land you have to ring them up?

Yes. I booked it throught the Easyjet site & apparently you phone a freephone number before you collect your luggage. Presumably that gives them time to be at the collection point.
Sounds good and I don't thikn it's expensive when you're going right to your door. Will let you know if it's a success!

HI there,
I'm just back from a wonderful long w/e in Paris. We used Paris shuttle off the Easyjet website, which brought us to our door from CDG & collected us. The service was excellent & cost 18 euros PP each way.By the time you faff about with buses/taxis etc I thought this was excellent value & so convenient & will definitely use them the next time I'm in Paris!! (fingers crossed it won't be too long!!) :wink:

Bonjour Tatty!
Back after our break & would really recommend Paris Shuttle. The Service was excellent. Only prob was that the phone number didn't work when we landed, but not to worry the mini bus was waiting at the terminal door & also picked us up almost to the minute for our return. I'd definitely use them again.
Hope this helps with your decision! :)

Hi Toasted

Glad you had a fab time only 5 days to go for me.
When you got off the plane, did you have to ring them to come pick you up or where they already there?

Thanks x

The best and easiest way to to get the train from cdg to gard d'nord station and then the metro from there to wherever in paris you need to be. Get the paris visite pass, a total must, unlimited on all trains, metros, sncf (don't hold me to that) and bus's. Even the tram in monmatre.

Hi, travelling in June...been advised to get the underground from the airport to Paris, then a taxi to my apartment!
I'm really apprehensive about this, as we'll probably get lost. Anyone done this trip, and if so what can I expect?
And also what would be the price?
Is it worth the hassle or is it worth booking a taxi direct from the airport to my accomodation?
Thanks
Dominic :)

Hi Dominic,

It's a long way from C De G airport to Paris, so I would take the underground, then a taxi from the station in Paris to your apartment if you can't fathom out how to get close by via the Metro.

A number of years ago we went on an ill fated holiday, supposedly to Paris, organised by a pair of ding bats (it's a long story), who booked the group into the Hotel Campanile at C de G. That's how I know how far away the airport is from Paris by road! Don't think there was a Metro link then.

Dominic,

you can get the Air France coach from CDG to Paris. Stops at the Arc de Triomphe and another stop which completely escapes me at the moment. You may find that your hotel/whatever is within walking distance, or that the Metro(which is simplicity itself to use) is easier, and if not get a taxi there

I think the last time the coach was 10euro pp each way

A lot of this depends on what time you are landing and where your hotel is! Do make sure that the buses run - you might find information on http://www.adp.fr or Air France's own website.

We land at 11am on a Tuesday morning, so I appreciate that shouldn't be too busy.
We will need to leave at around 5pm on the following Sunday, which I imagine could be murder. UK busses are hard work with Sunday hours!
