pre-book a cab . . . .

Your hotel can do it for you.

Call Taxi Bleu the night before for a 2:15 am pickup.

Taxi.

I use G7 (http://www.taxisg7.fr) when I have a specific need. You can dial 3607 on your telephone or reserve the taxi online. I have never had them arrive late.

No hotel just staying in an apartment. Also we speak very little French so we are having problems navigating the taxisg7 website.
Thanks again

I use Taxi G7, also, and find them reliable. In fact, they have a special number for English speakers, if you want that. It is 01-41-27-66-99

It's listed on their website in the commander un taxi section.

You do not need a 2:15 pickup if you have a 7:15 flight. At that time of day it will take 45 minutes tops, so add 15 minutes as a safety factor--4:15 at the earliest.

Ooops, Cathinjoetown is right. I misread and thought your flight was leaving at 5:15 am.

At such an early hour you may well choose to take a taxi all the way. However, if saving money is important to you, you could take a taxi to either Gare de l'Est or Gare du Nord and catch a Noctilien (night) bus to CDG. N120 leaves Gare de l'Est at 04:30 and Gare du Nord at 04:33. It arrives at Terminal 2 at 05:10, Terminal 1 at 05:15, and Terminal 3 at 05:20. N121 leaves Gare de l'Est at 04:25 and Gare du Nord at 04:28. It arrives at T2 at 05:05, T1 at 05:10, and T3 at 05:15.

Another option would be to take a taxi to Gare du Nord in time to catch the first RER B train to CDG. It departs at 04:56 and arrives at CDG 1 at 05:28 and CDG 2 TGV at 05:30. Kerouac will know for sure, but I believe this particular train at that time of day departs from the surface rather than from underground.

The first RER B train from Gare du Nord departs at 4h56, arriving CDG TGV 2 at 5h30. That should be plenty early, because I doubt you'll need a full two hours to get on the first flight of the day.

A night bus can get you to GdN from anywhere in the city. http://www.ratp.info/informer/noctilien.php
