Charles de Gaulle: Air France has two lines running from Charles de Gaulle into Paris. The first line runs every fifteen minutes and has two stops, Place de l'Etoile or Porte Maillot and it departs from Charles de Gaulle terminal 1 & 2 (i.e. not terminal 3 which is primarily for charters and low-cost carriers like EasyJet) between 5:45AM and 11PM. The second line runs every 30 minutes (between 7AM and 9PM) and stops at Gare de Lyon and Montparnasse. The RATP bus departs from all three terminals (including Terminal 3 - where charter flights and low cost airlines generally arrive) every 15 minutes. It arrives in Paris and stops at Place de l'Opéra alongside the American Express office. Service is from 6AM to 10:30PM.

Thank you Rhea for this info. I am arriving in Paris this Monday and if the transit strike is still on I am going to take the Air France Bus.
If the strike is over, we will take RER as our hotel is walkable for Gare Du Nord.
Have any local Parisians heard if Air France or the Roissy Buses are running during the strike? It has been posted the Roissy Buses were not running back in the Oct. strike, just the Air France Bus.

Ok...this was posted in the thread on the update on the strike...Thank You! Looks like the Air France bus is the one.
Here is an update, at midmorning on Nov. 14. Overall, the strike is less severe than the one in October. In Paris, the following Metro lines are running every 5 to 15 minutes: Lines 1, 2, 4, and 6, plus the automated Meteor Line 14. Taken together, these cover most parts of the city that tourists would want to visit. The RER B and Roissybus to CDG airport are not running, however; alternatives are the Air France bus or taxi. The RER line to Versailles Rive Gauche isn't running, but you could take the train from Montparnasse to Versailles Chantiers station which is about a 10-minute walk from the Chateau. Outside Paris, the TGV and Thalys are running on a reduced schedule (see earlier post for details); Eurostar service is normal although some trains have been delayed. You can tar and feather me later if I am wrong, but I predict things will be back to normal by the weekend.
