We need to transfer from CDG to the Hotel France Albion near the Opera in Paris. I'm wondering about current options and prices for 2 people. We do not want to take the Metro after such a long trip.

The RoissyBus go to Opéra.
The RoissyBus is 10 euros each. Prices will probably rise 1 July.
But from the Bus stop it is still 30 min walking. Or you would have to walk first to Gare Saint Lazare and take a bus there (line 26, 32, 42 or 43) and then walk again to the hotel (roughly 15 min overall)
Take a cab around 40 Euros or a bit more but you will be tired and a long walk especially if you don't know where yo are going is terrible!
Agree w/avalon: it's a LONG walk from where the Roissybus drops you off, and the route is not at all obvious. Taxi is reasonably priced ( could be a bit higher than 40E if there's traffic.)
If you wanted to save 10-15E, then you could take either the Roissybus to Opera or the RER train to Gare du Nord, then a taxi to the hotel. But, for me, after a long trip, the extra time and inconvenience is not worth the money.
Thanks everyone. A taxi it is!
The taxi from CDG is more than 50 euros on a good day.

I've heard that the taxi can be 55 - 65 euros. Worth it to avoid hours in a van or lots of walking after a long flight.
The last taxi ride I took from CDG to Arc de Triomphe was 48€. There was a backup just prior to the périphérique or we would have paid less. I suppose it is possible but I have never paid more than 55€ and that was to CDG which tends to be more as taxi meters are started when the driver is dispatched.
I understand why most folks would want to take the taxi...but my wife and I are usually so excited about being in Paris, that we don't even feel tired (until later in the afternoon, of course).
RER has always worked fine for us -- we have very little luggage.
Just my two cents.

...continued...unfortunatley, for that hotel, it looks to me that RER-Metro is not a good option, due to connection issues.
