which to take from CDG...bus or train to hotel Muguet?
I have been to Paris enough to not take a taxi into the city. Please help me choose best method with two bags to get from CDG(flying AA) to Hotel Muguet in the 7th. Thanks!

The RER might be a bit much, and requires 2 transfers (RER to metro, then another metro.)
You could take a shuttle door-to-door or match up the Roissybus+metro or the Air France coach+metro...Personally, I'd take a shuttle in these circumstances.

It may depend on your many people you have in your group, as that affects shuttle van rates, and how big those bags are. But if you've been there so much that you don't need a taxi, you must have a metro map and a map of the city, in general, don't you? That's all I would use to decide.
I don't think it's at all an issue of being to Paris enough. I have been there plenty and wouldn't need to ask others the route, but still would choose a taxi to get that the Hotel Muguet as it is rather inconvenient for public transportation.

I just posted this web site for someone wanting to get to Rue Cler (they watched too many Rick Steeves' shows) in the 7th.

I've not used these guys, so caveat emptor, or as I like to say, caveat weinor.

Don't know whether you're referring to me, Rastaguytoday (you posted the same link on my thread). But I've never, ever watched Rick Steves!
(Got my hotel advice from this forum.)I did appreciate your help though.

Roissybus to Opera and Metro 8 (Balard direction) to La Tour Maubourg.
I took the shuttles for years before finally trying the Roissybus, and the latter runs much more frequently. Even dragging luggage down the stairs at Opera Metro was less hassle than waiting forever for the shuttles to show up.

The Muguet's website has a link to a shuttle service that they use, which is what I used last time to get there.
How big are your bags? If the bags are not big & bulky, then you could take the train....but as travelnut says, 2 transfers could be a bit much. Depends on if you're looking to save that much money.

If you take a shuttle, don't do what I did - give them my home departure time instead of the destination arrival time!! They'll have someone there, but nobody to pick up... and you get charged for it anyways.

I have to do the same trip Christmas eve - 2 adults + 3 kids...thought of 3 train/metro is a bit too much. Roissy Bus to Opera then means 10 minutes walk to Madeleine Metro then 6 minute Metro to Ecole militaire...Looks like shuttle best option for me...I can't find the shuttle info on Muguet web site - am I blind?

Correction -ecole militare (which isn't far from champs de mars). The hotel is only about a mile and a half from Opera. You will need two cabs.
Here is a website with ALL the taxi stands in central Paris, plus phone numbers for calling a radio taxi at the particular stand in question.

jedistar - If you don't want to shell out for taxi(s)
Option 1 -
Roissybus to Opéra
Métro Ligne 8 to École Militaire
Option 2 -
RER to Luxembourg
Bus N° 82 to École Militaire
Option 3 -
RER B to St Michel-Notre Dame
RER C to Invalides
Métro Ligne 8 to École Militaire
sxc315 - the RER B goes right through the Ie arrondissement, crossing the Seine just west of Notre Dame. About 30 minutes from CDG. You can probably get to your hotel with only one transfer (bus to bus is less strenuous than RER to Métro). Where are you staying?
