Graziella,
Where do you pay for the Air France bus? On the bus or at a counter? Do you know if they take credit cards or must one have Euros to pay for the ticket?

Best,
Sandy

I have taken the RER/metro from CDG to Ecole Miltaire many times and have found the easiest way is the RER to Gare du Nord.The #4 heading toward Porte d'Orleans transfer to the #8 at Strasbourg-Saint-Denis heading towards Balard to Ecole Militaire.

We found that the Roissy bus was very easy to Opera, and then took the #8 metro line a couple of stops to E.M. I think that's easier than the RER route, but if the Air France bus goes right to E.M. then that might be best of all.

The Air France bus goes to CDG L"Etoile and from there you cantake either the 92 or 82, or the Metro or a taxi.
, I haven't taken the Air France bus in years, but this year I am being careful and I shall not take the taxi as in the recent past.
Apparently you can buy a combo at CDGAirport that is the bus plus a ticket for a regular street bus or metro.
Because we are planing to use a Carte Orange I shal try to get it at
CDG Airport before getting in the AF bus , I only need the C.O. ticket because I have the carnet with the picture from two years ago. And then I shall buy only the Air France ticket and catch the bus 92 because I am also going to Av Bosquet near Ecole Militaire.
Ok, I think I read some place that the carte Orange can be bought at the airport, hope so. But I am not sure.
This way I shall avoid the extra hussel of buying it at CDG Le Etoile.
Do I make sense? If anyone knows I am wrong please let me know.

Keep in mind there are two Air France buses from CDG: one to Etoile, and one to Gare Montparnasse. I've lost track of who is trying to get where, but what I mentioned earlier involving the Air France bus and public buses #82 or #92 was in respect to going to Gare Montparnasse.

HI Willtravel, I am sure about the 82 but the 92 goes from L'Etoile-CDG to Gare Montparnasse so it is good for both Air Frrance buses, how about that?
:-)

I mean I am NOT sure regarding the
82...
by the way does anyone know if a carte orange ticket can be bought at the Airport CDG ROIssy.?
