How do you get from CDG to 7th Ard?
Okay I know this topic has been hashed over a million times and I normally would research this on my own but I don't have time. I am arriving at CDG on Friday at 11:10am, should I take the offer from the Hotel Verneuil for 70 euro to pick me up or should I take a taxi, train, etc. Help!! I have been to Paris twice before but with school groups never alone.
Thanks. |
A taxi should cost you about 50 euro.

70 Euro! whew. If you grab your own taxi, it should only cost you 40-ish Euro.
Alternately, you could reserve the Parishuttle to pick you up for 25 Euro. http://www.parishuttle.com/ |
Yeah, 50 for a taxi is more conservative. There will be a 1-2E per bag charge as well, then there's the tip.
|
I have no clue but is this a train that goes from CDG?

Are you asking if there is a train to the 7th? If so, yes. You would take the RER B to central Paris and then change trains. Exactly where to change and which train to change to would depend on exactly where in the 7th you're going. With a nearest metro stop, or address, I'm sure someone could give more specific instructions.
This would certainly be the cheapest option, but is only practical if you are travelling very lightly. |
Parishuttle is a mini-van that will pick you up at the airport (you call them from the airport to say you've arrived) and takes you directly to your hotel/apt. They may or may not have others on the same trip (which would only make the trip a bit longer - no big deal). I used them and it was perfect. I did not want to attempt the train with my luggage (I was staying a month). It may be too late to arrange this via e-mail but you could put "parishuttle" in Google or the like and find a phone number - I booked it ahead of time so don't know how versatile they are if you just call from the airport. You'd be looking at approx $50 round trip low end versus $140 round trip at the high end. One thing I will say is to be sure to confirm a couple of days ahead for your return trip. They had booked my return too close to departure and I didn't notice and they were annoyed when I said that while confirming a day ahead.

A taxi was 50 euro for us including luggage

The closest Metro to the Verneuil is St Germain, then there is about a 4 block walk. Verneuil sits right on the border of the 6th & 7th. Depending on the day and time I've had a taxi run from 40-50 E, but it certainly is the easiest.

Hi jv,
The most cost beneficial method is to have a shuttle van pick you up. Both www.parishuttle.com and www.beeshuttle.com will charge you about 18E. |
In May, we took the Roissybus for 8 euro which dropped us off in the Opera area. We then walked kitty-corner across the street and took the Metro to the 7th (Ecole Militaire).
Didn't worry about the cost of a taxi if caught in traffic (when does the Tour de France end?). We also travel with carry-ons only so we can be more flexible in moving around. |
