Taxi or Tain from Airport to Rue St. Honore
We're arriving in Paris (CDG) airport, in the late afternoon from the US and. debating whether a taxi or The train would be better, both time, stress, and Money-sise. Any advice?

How many are <i>we</i>.
The RER (train) will cost 9.10€ each. The train offers the fastest en route times into Paris.
A taxi will cost approximately 50€ to 55€. Taxis typically offer the fastest service from exiting customs to your hotels doorstep.
Your hotel, near Chatelet, is not served efficiently by the Roissybus or one of the AF Buses.
I usually take a taxi.

I think you would need to transfer from the RER to metro line 1 at Chatelet Les Halles, which is dreadful. You are celebrating your 25th anniversary, IIRC? Take a taxi. Yes, a taxi costs more than the RER, but it's nice to get delivered to your hotel/apartment doorway when you arrive.

You mentioned in other post that you are staying at 71/73 rue Saint Honoré for your 25th anniversary. You have to choose which of the factors is important for your anniversary -- you cannot get all three especially that location where RER station is an enormous confusing complex: at least that I always felt when I had to change trains there. From stress wise, taxi is better. For time and money-wise, RER is better, but you are probably heading into town at the beginning of the rush hour with your luggage. The Chatelet-Forum area is a giant construction zone right now.
I don't like walking around Les Halles/Chatelet station area at night. It is one place in the center of Paris I don't feel comfortable walking past young guys just hanging around. There were many other people going the same direction so I was never alone among these young guys.

You could also look at SHuttle Inter. As I recall it was 50 Euro, about the same as a taxi but there is no meter running if yoou get stuck in traffic. It is a private car not a shared van. I booked them on the advice of Fodor's poster Gracejoan who spends months in Paris each year
