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.

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.

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.
