What's the address for the hote?

How much luggage do you have? What time is your flight? Are you willing to use public transportation?

Hotel Lutetia 15 Boulevard Raspail---Left Bank
We will each have one carry-on. Would use public transportation if it is the best way and user friendly as my French is limited to basic pleasantries.

Short walk to St Sulpice metro station for Line 4, get off at St Michel. Change for RER-B at St Michel for CDG. Should take 45 mins or so, and cost less than 9 euro per person.

BTW, your hotel website

suggests you to take Line 10 from Sevres-Babylone station to St Michel, and change for the RER-B to CDG. Probably a better route than the one I gave above. Not sure how far a walk is at the St Michel station connecting from Line 10 to RER B.

Thanks for the info. Will try it from the airport when we arrive.

Sorry, I was so confused. I kept thinking you were asking how to get to CDG from your hotel.

Anyway, from CDG to your hotel, you need to figure out which terminal you'll be arriving into. The main RER station is in Terminal 2. The line to buy RER tickets is usually quite long; expect to stand in line for at least 15 minutes. If you have enough euro coins, you can buy your ticket from the machines. Last I heard, the machines are NOT accepting US credit cards.
