The
Champs Elysees lies west of the city centre running through Arrondissement
8 to the Arc de Triomphe before continuing to La Defense on the other
side of the Seine.
Running along the entire length of the Champs Elysees is Metro Line
1 and is the defacto form of public transport into the city. Metro
Line 1 also stops at the Louvre and stops very near Notre Dame. There
are stations about every 500m.

Air France buses go to CDG airport
from the Arc de Triomphe and Port Maillot |

Paris Metro |
For
most people the Paris Metro is the transport of choice travelling
around Paris. Details of ticketing, lines etc. are on our
Paris Metro page.
Charles de Gaulle (Arc de Triomphe) station is a major Metro hub with
lines 1,2 and 6 as well as RER Line A. Line 9 crosses the Champs Elysees
at its lower end at Franklin Roosevelt and goes through the heart
of the other main shopping district in Paris in the city centre where
the main department stores are.

Trains (including links to airports) |
RER
line A runs through Charles de Gaulle (Arc de Triomphe) station which
also is a hub for 3 metro lines.
Line A goes to Chatelet where you can easily interchange to RER Line
B trains to both of the Paris main airports.
|
 |
| Line
A also continues eastwards as far as Eurodisney, though beware the
line splits just outside Paris and not all trains run to Eurodisney. |
 |
The
RER is run by RATP, who also run the Metro
and city centre
buses.
As a result
train, metro and bus are tightly integrated, sharing ticketing systems.
If you are travelling within central Paris you can use a single ticket
which is also valid for Metro and buses.
