most hotels can ARRANGE a shuttle for you, but it will be from an agency they work with, not belonging to the hotel.

google "paris shuttles", and do a search here in search box for a list of that info and you will see the price if you arrange it yourself.

We've used http://www.beeshuttle.com/ ourselves but there are people here who have used:
http://www.parishuttle.com/ also. If you do a search, you'll come up with more.

As has been said, they will arrange one.Why not just take a taxi with your budget--it will be about 45-50E. Be sure to take a Taxi Parisien from the regular cab queue and have the address of your hotel written out.

i think her budget is for the hotel..not the taxi.

if alone i would take a shuttle to get a fixed price into paris city.
it can be a bit expensive if you get stuck in traffic and only one person to pay as the meter ticks away.

If price is your main concern, take the train (if you will have a manageable amount of luggage.)

Irene, please state what is your hotel? There are other shuttle-type options with limited stops in Paris that might be close enough for you. Those other options are 1)Roissybus 8E and 2)Air France coach 12-14E. Say your hotel name and address and we can advise further.

OK, she has her hotel. Since she is alone then a shuttle will be within her 25E budget.
Look for ParisShuttle or Blue Vans. The RER and AirFrance bus, etc. will be cheaper.

It is usually cheaper for two people than one person, not more expensive--at least per person. Of course it is more when you add the two fares together, but the per person cost is less because they don't have to make as many stops or spend as much time, so there is economy in numbers.

You won't find any shuttle service cheaper than that, I bet -- 25 euro for one person alone. If you don't want to pay that much, you'll have to take the public train/bus/metro system. I don't think there is any other solution. Do not expect any shuttle to charge a single person less than the per person cost of a group.

Your cheapest method would be to take the airport Roissybus into the city (it only goes to one place, next to the Opera Garnier), and then the metro, but to be honest, if you are staying near St Germain metro stop, I'd do something else -- pay a few euro more and take the Air France airport bus to Montparnasse station/tower, then take the metro to your hotel. That station is right on the same metro line, so there will be no transfers, which wouldn't be possible from the Opera. That should work if you don't have a lot of luggage, and if it isn't during a busy metro time period. In total, that will cost around 15 euro to do that, I guess. The AF bus is now 14 euro one-way, and the Roissybus only around 9, I think. But it is a lot easier from the metro, that's all.

I really would take the van shuttle at 25 euro if I were you (bee shuttle is only 24).

oh, sorry, just to make it clear about your original question -- you won't find hotels in central Paris providing free transportation to/from the airport. Only hotels right near the airport do that.
