Le Bus Direct

There are several transportation options once you arrive in Paris to get you from the airport (CDG) into the city.

A regional (RER) train will take about an hour and will connect to the city's metro system. Taxis and car services are also available.

Our trip came on the heels of several months of transportation strikes so we opted to take Le Bus Direct.

Tickets can purchased in advance, at a kiosk in the airport or directly from the driver, although that final option is more expensive.

A one-way ticket is 18 Euros, or you can get a round trip ticket for 31 Euros.

The bus stops at two terminals at CDG before heading to Paris.

The bus makes only three stops, so it is very much a direct trip to the city. It stops at Ponte Maillot, Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower.

The trip takes 50 minutes to an hour. Busses run every 30 minutes.

There is free WiFi onboard although I found it pretty spotty.
