We are just back from a glorious trip to Paris. I would recommend using www.art-trans-voyage.com. Leeza and her dad Nino made five seperate trips for us to the airport and train stations. They meet you with a sign, help with the baggae and take you promptly to where you need to go. We even used them to do Rick Steve%26#39;s Paris by night tour. For four of us (he has six seats in the car) it cost us 50 euros and was well worth it.

There%26#39;s also an expat British taxi driver called Andy who comes highly recommended on TA (do a search on this site for more info).





He charges a flat fee from CDG - you can see his website here

We just returned from Paris a few days ago and did the RER B option. Wasn%26#39;t bad coming in from the airport as we arrived during the weekday, but getting back was a challenge with luggage, rush hour, etc.
