Taxi fare
Hello everyone!
May I know if taking a taxi from CDG to the hotel at the Latin Quarter less expensive than taking the Metro for 4 people. We arrive about 12 noon in Paris. We are staying at the Hotel du Levant.
Thanks a million for the help and info.

There's an inexpensive shuttle company that you can take from the airport. You can book on the net or get with them at the airport. I wish I had my notes with me but sorry I'm not at home responding to this. Look in the tour books.

I was wondering if anyone out there had an opinion to the Metro/RER vs. a shuttle from Charles de Gaulle? My friend and I are going to Paris in May. It is cheaper to go by RER to our hotel than a private shuttle. It appears that the Metro might be a bit dicey with our luggage and carryons?
Just asking for opinions.

The RER is always cheaper, as Christina said: four can ride the rails for €7.85 x 4 = €31.40 whereas a taxi will cost €40 - €50.
Can you carry your luggage from the baggage claim to the street? If so, then the RER won't be a problem. If not, then you're probably better off with above-ground transport.
The Roissybus is €8.30 and the Air France bus is €9 (if you buy a r/t). PariShuttle.com which take you to your door, costs €19.
<i>p.s.</i> The exact cost of your airport trip depends on your overall public transport strategy. If you get a weekly pass, it can be as little as €7.40
