TRAVELING FROM AIRPORTS

If you want to use public transportation, you can take either the regional train (RER line B, blue line, in both cases) or the bus whether you land at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle or Orly airport.

From Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle:

• By train: the airport is the terminus of the RER B regional train, so you should not encounter any trouble in looking for your directions. All trains go to the center of Paris. All RER B shuttles stop at every station inside Paris (they regularly skip some suburban stations). Ticket is approx 10€.

• By bus: there are different options. "Le Bus Direct" (17€) operates three routes to-from De Gaulle airport terminals 1 and 2. More info : http://easycdg.com/le-bus-direct-paris-cdg-de-gaulle-airport/ . Roissybus (12€) provides non-stop services between De Gaulle airport and the Paris-Opéra district and is a bit cheaper.

From Orly airport

• By train (approx 13€): you will have first to take to "Orlyval", an automatic light metro shuttle service connecting Paris's Orly Airport with the city's RER transit network at Antony on line B. Then you have to take RER line B to Paris. Be careful to take the direction to the North (Paris). RER B directions are indicated in the station by their terminus, which makes it sometimes difficult to understand. You have to take a train among those that go to "Mitry - Claye", "Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle", "Aulnay-sous-Bois" and the less frequent "Gare du Nord".
• By bus: Orlybus (8.70€) leads you to "Denfert-Rochereau", one of the central stations of Paris.
• Regional train RER C is also possible
