32 Paris Transport: Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) and Orly airports
There are a couple of options available to visitors to Paris. The most
expensive is the taxi. This will cost you 200-250FRF from Charles de
Gaulle, 150-200FRF from Orly, depending on traffic. There is also a
6FRF charge for each piece of luggage.
A cheaper option is to contact an airport shuttle service. The going
rate is approximately 180FRF for 2 persons for door to door service,
120FRF for one person. Some companies offer a slightly cheaper rate
for "pipe-line" service. Inquire about baggage limits. Some services
charge extra for more than 2 pieces. One popular service is the Paris
Airports Service, email: pas@magic.fr, http://www.magic.fr/pas. The
Paris-Anglo website also has a listing of shuttle services you can
contact: http://www.paris-anglo.com. You can also inquire at your
hotel for other shuttle services.

The two airports are also linked to the RATP through the RER. If you
arrive during the morning or evening rush hours, this would be the
fastest and most reliable way of getting into the city. You can take
the RER into Paris and transfer onto the metro. A word of caution: the
RER may not be suited to those with a lot of luggage or who have
difficulties with steps. The main Metro/RER transfer stations are very
big and not always equipped with escalators.
In addition, there are special buses from Orly and CDG airports to the
city center, run by the RATP, Air France, and KLM.
