Paris Taxi Recommendation Needed

We're staying in the 11th and will need a taxi next week to take us from our apartment to Gare to Lyon. Any suggestions from our Paris savvy Fodorites for a reliable taxi company we could call to arrange this?

Here's a link to taxi information: http://www.parisby.com/transpor/taxi.htm

It has the english-speaking numbers for both G7 and Taxi Bleus.

I always use Taxis Bleus. If you go to their website I believe they have some sort of discount - no fee for them coming to pick you up if you use your cell phone to call/text them.

I have an on line account with Taxi G7 and order taxis via the internet but you can easily call them using their English language dispatcher:

Have you looked at your local taxi stand to see if there are usually taxis there?

Just found out where the local taxi station is. I'll check it out over the next few days. Thanks, Kerouac.

We're home now, but I wanted to report that I booked online with Taxis Bleus and everything worked out perfectly. The taxi driver sent a message that he was en route, giving the make, model and color of his taxi, and he arrived on time.

Thanks again for your recommendations.
