Paris, France Getting There
By Air:
Two airports take care of the enormous amount of traffic flying in an out of Paris: Roissy/Charles de Gaulle, handling most international flights and Orly, taking care of most domestic routes.
Looking like something way out of the future or just out of George Orwell's mind, Roissy-Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG) (+33 1 4862 2280 http://www.adp.fr resides 14 miles northeast of Paris. Not only is the structure a bit imposing, but the mass of humanity trying to move from point to point in the airport can make for a frustrating and confusing experience.
But most of the airports customer service representatives are quite friendly, speak English, and are more than willing to help you. Free ADP shuttle buses (each color coded green or blue depending on terminal) connect the three terminals, which are loaded with shops, restaurants and bars, play areas for the kids, ATMs, information booths and currency exchange centers. Parking is ample and a number of hotels are perched in the center of the airport grounds.

Ground transportation
There are more than enough ways to get into the center of Paris, including a wealth of inexpensive options and those that require a hefty wallet.
Car rental
Onsite car hire companies are: Avis, Budget, Hertz and Sixt . Driving out of the airport can be taxing on the nerves, especially if you do not speak or read French, and once you manage to find your way, traffic rushing toward the center of town is nothing short of a nightmare. For those jetlagged travelers, driving is either a great adventure or a nail biting obstacle. The best bet to get into central Paris is to locate the A1 and head southwest. From there the motorway options are ripe with possibilities, but a good map will keep you from getting lost or run over.
Taxi
Taxis are one of the more expensive options (EUR36-EUR50 depending on destination) and trips can take up to an hour in traffic. Ranks are located outside the terminal arrivals hall.
Airport Shuttle
Door-to-door van service is available though Airport Shuttle (+33 1 3011 1300 http://www.airportshuttle.fr and Paris Airports Service Fare (+33 1 5598 1080 http://www.parisairportservice.com

Coach
Getting into town via coach is a more frugal transportation alternative. Air France (+33 1 4156 8900 http://cars.airfrance.fr operates two lines of bus service: Line 2 departs from the terminals to Porte Maillot and Etoile. Departures are every 15 minutes from 5:50a-11p. The fare is EUR10. Line 4 connects the airport with Montparnasse and Gare de Lyon, leaving every 30 minutes from 7a-9p for EUR11.50. RAPT (+33 1 4468 2020 http://www.ratp.fr the local public transportation company, employs the Roissy bus, which heads off from each terminal from 5:45a-11p every 15 to 20 minutes for a 45 minute direct jaunt to the Place de l'Op鲡. The fare is EUR8.20. Public bus 350 jogs to Gare de l'Est train station and bus 351 connects Roissy with the Nation metro stop. These buses run daily but stop during the night.
Train
If you are not dragging along a truck load of luggage the Regional Express Network (RER) B line train http://idf.sncf.fr is the way to go. It leaves from the TVG Station in Terminal 2 (via an ADP bus if coming from other terminals) for Gare du Nord, Chatelet Les Halles, St. Michel, Denfert-Rochereau and beyond every 4-15 minutes from around 5am to midnight. The fare is EUR7.70. Each stop links with the Paris Metro.
