What is the easiest way to get into central paris from Charles de Galle Airport

[pega]

theres a train from the airport RER and this will take you into Paris metro station and can get connects to whereever you want to go. By far the best way to Paris now is Eurostar take you to centre of paris. I have flown to paris and wasn't any problem getting from airport

Most airports offer a coach service from the airport to the centre of the nearby city.

I have arrived at loads of airports and always managed to find a cheap coach to get me into the city centre.

I am sure Charles de Gaulle does. Ask at the information desk when you get there.

It�s probably covered in the answers above but I like to talk. I last flew to CdG 7 years ago and got a free minibus from the airport terminal to the train station then a local train to Gare du Nord in Paris. Very easy and very cheap.

This site:

gives more detail on the various options.

Taxi would be easiest - and very expensive.

taxi would be easiest - and very expensive

easy? yes. expensive? depends on party size. When I did the trip last year (CDG to Gare Austerlitz) it was EUR45 for 4 of us - about �7 each, which is more than the train but so much easier with skis, boots, etc.

It depends where you are staying in Paris...but the coach from GDG to Montparnasse is cheap and regular. There is a bus/transport information desk in arrivals.

Montparnasse Stn is a main 'Hub' so you can easily get to most places from there, or stay locally, its pretty convenient for most areas and has some superb restaurants (try 'Montparnasse 1900' !!)

The train is very easy and quick - and inexpensive. I went there in November on a day trip, flying with easyJet.

The station is under the airport. The ticket office speaks English and takes credit cards. There are fast trains and all stoppers - the platform indicators list the trains and stops. You have to change onto the metro, we changed at Gare du Nord, and that is dead easy. On the metro you have access to all central Paris.

There are pictures we took of the station at the airport here :- http://www.lisashea.com/lisastrips/yr2005/davincicode/sun/
