This is not about air-conditioning any more but I was hesitant to start a new thread. We moved apartments and instead of staying in the 6th, we are now staying in the 13th (we needed more space and extra bed). What is the best way to get to the 13th from Charles De Gaulle airport? we are near Porte de Choisy metro and Porte d'Italie metro. Merci!

I was wondering about this, I don't know how global warming has affected Europe but when I went to Paris in July of 07, I froze to death every night, haha. I live Texas so I guess it all depends on where you're from.

Tentek - You really need to understand how to use the Paris métro/RER/bus system so use the official website to figure out how to get to not only CDG but around the city:
www.ratp.fr
Here is an interactive map of the system:

Since not all of that website has an English version you can use the websites www.vianavigo.com or www.transilien.com.

FrenchMystiqueTours and KT travel, thank you so much. I appreciate the link to RATP. I have been trying to study it and I have taken the RER to the airport in Paris before, but this time I am traveling with a child (5 years old). I think I will take a taxi from CDG as KTtravel suggested. It makes more sense even if it is a bit more.

A taxi is easiest, for sure, and that's how we get between CDG and the city if there are a couple of us traveling. When alone, I usually use RER.
Think you would be wise to use a taxi when traveling with a 5 year old, but just as an fyi the best public transport option would be to take RER B from CDG to the Cite Universitaire station and transfer to the above ground T3 tram (stop is just across the street from where you exit the RER) and ride a couple stops to Porte d'Italie station.
