CDG to Marriott Rive Gauche
 
Is it feasible to take the RER B from CDG to Denfert-Rochereau, and walk to the marriott rive gauche? how long would the walk take? we will be there at the end of Decemeber and wondering if it's gonna be too cold to walk.

any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you.

600 yards. You can switch to the Ligne 6 Metro, ride one stop to Saint Jacques and cut your walk by about 2/3.

Okay, make it 1/2.

[That's the hotel I stayed at during my first visit to Paris in 1980. It was a Novotel at that time I believe, and later became a Sofitel.]

thanks, rkkwan.

how big is the station in denfert-rochereau? is it easy to make the connection to the metro?

If I have to transfer from the RER B line, or even just get out of the station, Denfert is my favorite station as it is convenient and relatively small.

I'd just walk to the hotel from the RER station, it isn't far. I don't think you'd save much time by taking the metro, by the time you walk the tunnel from the RER to the metro, then the tunnel of the metro, then a train, then ride, then get off, go above ground, etc etc. You'd be at the hotel by then!
