My experience is very different from above, at least when arriving on a weekend morning -- I have never had a taxi fare from CDG to Left Bank (farther than Marais)-- have a fare higher than 250F. I have also taken a taxi many times from 5/6/14/15 arrondisements TO CDG on Sat or Sun morning and again the fares were 200-250F. I don't know what the nontaxis for hire would be, some private car? I could believe they would be more expensive, but don't understand why you'd pay 450F for a flat fare which is almost double a taxi fare. So, it depends on day of week; traffic seems busier during weekdays to me, even in mid-afternoon, but my guess would be about 200F.

Shuttle was (we were told at information desk) from CDG into Paris 100ff each. Couldn't get space when I tried to reserve from US. For taxi we paid ~260ff to Left Bank for 2 people, 2 suitcases, and gave the nice fellow a tip. We took the train back to CDG for 49ff each, long walk to train, crowded, dirty, standing room only, long ride, off the train on the bus. Take the nice, genteel taxi.
