Best way from Rue Cler neighborhood to De Gaulle airport?

We are travelling to Paris next month and are curious as to the best way to get from the Rue Cler neighborhood to De Gaulle. I assume the subway/train would be best, but thought I should ask. Thanks, in advance for your assistance.

%26quot;Best%26quot; means: cheaper, faster, more comfortable ????





Taxis could be more convenient... specially with luggage.

Good question. I want the least expensive, relatively convenient option (i.e. less than a two hour journey). We have minimal luggage. Thanks. - John

I have taken taxis from CDG into the 5th and



6th and back to CDG. For me that is the best



way.



I am noit lugging suitcases, dealing with



stairs, crowded RER or Metro.





Yes, a taxi is more expensive.





What%26#39;s the price tag on missing your flight ?





This is based on 5 trips to Paris, the 5th



one last month.

Provided you have no personal mobility issues, then the RER %26#39;B-3%26#39; train from one of the two stations at CDG to SAINT MICHEL Notre Dame (one way fare 8 €...approx. 30 mins.) then either swtich to a RER %26#39;C%26#39; ligne trian to either INVALIDES or PONT de l%26#39;ALMA and then walk the several blocks to your hotel or take a taxi. If taxi is your prefered option then though it may cost an extra couple of €uro, you may be better off skipping the onward RER%26#39;C%26#39; train and simply taking the escalators up from the train platforms to street level at the Saint Michel-Notre Dame and taking a cab from the regular taxi stand there (appros. 6-7 €) to your hotel.





Though I%26#39;m a big fan of the RER %26#39;B%26#39; train FROM CDG; for some reason, it doesn%26#39;t seem to %26#39;work%26#39; as well for us returning TO CDG. For this we have our hotel contact an airport shuttle van service the day before and make arrangements for a shuttle pick-up at our hotel.

Thanks for the excellent advice. Do you have any idea how much it costs roughly for a shuttle service or taxi to the airport?




|||



It should be around E40-50 for a taxi from rue Cler



to CDG.

A TAXI PARISIEN from the regular rank outside of your CDG arrival terminal building will run 40-50 €uro. One of the airport shuttle van services will run somewhere between 15-23 €uro (depending on whether a round-trip or one-way reservation and the number of persons in your party.





So that you won%26#39;t think it an %26quot;..annoyed..%26#39; response to an oft repeated and responded to question( that some dam fools think should be ignored rather than offer a lead to a wealth of information)...this is one of those times when you should use the SEARCH feature of this forum to gather all (and more) information on the various modes of airport transfer (what they are, how they work, what they cost, pros vs cons, authoratative resources, etc). Use %26#39;,,CDG to PARIS..%26quot; or %26#39;..AIRPORT TRANSFERS..%26#39; as your search criteria. Do this and you will be as prepared as any can be to deal with the matter and any contingencies which might arise.
