We are staying on Rue Chapon and wonder if it cheaper to take a taxi. If not do you have directions for us? Thanks

Cheaper then what??
The quickest way into Paris it to take the RER , easy as pie. You can then take the metro to your hotel( or apartment) or take a taxi. A taxi is great if you are tired after a long flight, or have alot of luggage.
The RER into Paris is about 9 euros a head, add 10-12 euros for taxi , total of 37-40 euros to do it that way, a taxi from airport , depending on traffic , time of day, amount of luggage( they are allowed to charge 1 euro per bag, and night travel is more then day travel, and when traffic is heavy you pay to sit in traffic) a taxi from CDG to hotel will cost about 50 - 65 euros, give or take a bit.
If you are staying at a hotel thye usaully have directions on the web site on how to get there, if you are staying at an apartment the agency should tell you which metro stop is closest.

I%26#39;d say for 3 people it%26#39;s worth a few Euro more (total 50-60 E) to just hop in a taxi and go straight to your destination (no lugging luggage through metro stations and turnstiles after a long flight).

The RER alternative will require one transfer on the Metro. Lots of stairs.
|||
I would go for the taxi too, as it is a more restful way to arrive and not that expensive fcr three

Thanks for the great replies. Since we are arriving around 8 AM we will most likely be a bit tired. So I am thinking taxi.
|||
Suggest you have the address written down to show to the driver. Have a nice trip.

We are a family of three that just returned from Paris. We took the Paris Blue Shuttle for 14.90 euros a person. The nicest thing was that we did not even have to look for them~~we went to the shuttle stop about 20 minutes before they were supposed to pick us up. I expected to wait, but as soon as we walked out, they were there looking for us! In Paris, we mostly used the metro, but on a few occastions we did take a taxi. I did notice that when we took a taxi to the train station (with luggage), they charged us more than most of our longer rides. I%26#39;m assuming it had to do with the luggage handling.

The taxi luggage fee is 1€ per bag, and there is another fee [2,60€?] for being picked up at a SNCF station.
Shuttles are a good deal for people traveling alone.
