Have you been taught any terms of politeness such as "hello" or "please"? If not, you will have a terrible time in Paris.

Take the RER B from CDG and get off at St Michel or Luxembourg, depending on where you are staying.

The RER will pollute 45 times less than a taxi. Just so you'll know.

Can I enquire as to why two people think this is the best way? Is it the best way for the planet? Is the OP handicapped? Is their luggage very heavy? Do you know from where they are coming? (international or local flight?) You seem very sure of yourselves.

I would take a taxi. Because I am not familiar with Paris (having visited only once before) or how to use public transportation. And about the last experience I'd want to be dealing with after getting off a long flight jet lagged from the west coast USA and in a place I don't speak the language.

Just back from Paris. During that time, part of the RER from CDG was closed, replaced by bus service. Hence: Cab.

The OP gave no info about being handicapped, nor did he/she ask for the "cheapest", or "fastest", or "simplest " way. Therefore I (and others) used my interpretation of "best". It seemed that he put as little effort into his question as possible.

If you will notice this is the first time this person has posted on the forum. They did not exactly receive a warm welcome with the first reply.

You have to be a moron not be able to take the RERB from CDG into Paris. The ticket machines not only have an English language touch screen, there is an English-speaking attendant at the airport ticket kiosks.

Geez thanks Thin. But I only have jet lag, suffer from the 9 hour time difference, and haven't slept in 48 hours since I can't sleep on flights... that does not a moron make. Or maybe it does?

I’ll have to join Suze in the naughty list. I don’t really care about the environment or English speaking attendants when I’m tired, cranky, and in an unfamiliar city. The cabs are still going to be on the street, regardless of whether the OP takes them, so I don’t, in fact, understand how not taking them will prevent pollution.

if money is a factor, rer. No? Cab.

When we arrived at CDG on June 7 this year - taxis were on strike. A "pirate" who was a valid taxi driver, picked us up and took us to St Germain en Laye. 200E!!!

I'm with Suze, AJ, & mouse. I don't want to locate and then get on the tram from terminal 1, off at the RER spot, get a ticket, get into Paris, perhaps more public transportation or a long walk hauling 3 bags - after a 11 hr flight & 9 hr time difference.

Uber is probably the least useful suggestion- and more polluting!

Some people need to make their own terrible mistakes.
