A group of us will be renting some apartments located on the Rue de Lyon between Place de Bastille and Gare de Lyon. What is the most cost effective way to get 8 adults with a moderate amount of luggage from CDG to our location? We will be flying in on a Saturday afternoon.
Thank you!
Best way to get from Charles de Gaulle to Place de Bastille

We have used this shuttle service several times - they even picked us up at 4:30 AM when we had an early flight home

For a group of 8 the most cost effective is probably a taxi. Just walk outside the terminal and get in the taxi rank line. Do not accept a taxi ride from anyone who walks up to you and offers a ride. Make sure you get in the official taxi line. You'll need two taxis for your group and the fare should be between 50€ to 60€ per taxi. I believe they'll be a charge of 1€ to 2€ for each piece of luggage but I rarely take taxis so can't confirm. At any rate it's a nominal fee.
Do not take any shuttle service where you need to prepay. There are numerous horror stories on this and other travel forums about shuttles not showing up and not returning the pre-paid fare. If you don't pre-pay and your shuttle doesn't show up then you can just take a taxi anyway.
What FMT says all the way. Most economical because 4 to a taxi. And be sure to take a Taxi Parisienne.
Shuttles will be per person and would end up being more expensive.
Print the address and maybe a map of your hotel and have one for each driver.
