Help needed re travel in Paris

Hello

We are arriving at CDG on Sunday. Our hotel is Auteuil Tour Eiffel on Rue Felicien David.

Can someone please advise on the best route to get there.

I have 2 options written down but am unsure which is better/easier with regard to ticketing.

1 - From CDG take RER line B to St Michel then take metro to Mirabeau.

In this case do we need to get a separate ticket from CDG to St Michel then use a Paris Visite or a ticket from a carnet for the metro section?

2 - From CDG take RER line B to St Michel then take RER line C to Kennedy Radio France.

In this case will we just require the 1 RER ticket?

Also - we are in Paris from the Sunday afternoon and leaving on Wednesday morning. Is it best for us to get a 3 day Paris Visite or get a carnet?

Thanks in advance

the RER ticket in from CDG transfers to the metro for that single trip -- and the same works in reverse, you can buy a ticket at a metro station that will see you on the RER out to CDG --- so if the metro from st. michel is more direct or convenient you can use that without extra cost of transfer or another ticket

I just get carnets unless I am staying on the outskirts e.g. when we spent a month in the 20th we got carte orange -- same this summer when we spent a week in Montmartre -- but if nearer the center we don%26#39;t use the metro much and just buy a carnet and split it and use as needed -- for so little time there, I bet a carnet would be more than enough for a couple

Paris is best enjoyed on foot above ground (except for long distances when tired) even at night -- a long stroll down the Seine is a breathtaking experience to be savored if you can manage it

Thanks for your help
