The
Airport Bus from Charles De Gaulle Airport to Central
Paris offers a convenient and potentially cheap transfer option.
There is a choice of five routes by airport bus from Charles De Gaulle
Airport / Roissy to Paris.
Three are operated by RATP who run the buses, RER trains and Metro
within Paris. A bonus with the RATP options is that a Paris
travel pass can include the airport transfer.
Arguably the most popular Paris bus transfer option is Roissy Bus,
operating to Opera in the very centre of the city.
The cheapest transfer from CDG airport to Paris are two public
bus routes, 350 & 351. These are normal Paris public buses,
so many stops are made and there are no special facilities for luggage.

The
350 bus will probably be of most interest to visitors terminating
at Gare de L'Est, next to the Gare du Nord. This is very close to
Montmartre,
a major budget accommodation district in Paris.
The Roissy Bus travels non-stop, terminating right in the centre
of Paris next to the Opera Garnier, a major Metro & RER interchange.
This seems to be the most popular bus option.
The Air France bus, terminates right next to the Arc de Triomphe
on the Champs Elysees. This also is a major Metro & RER interchange.
A second route goes to Gare de Lyon and Montparnasse stations if
your journey goes on by rail outside Paris.

Public
Bus - Route 350&351
By far
the cheapest option into Paris are the two public bus services. Both
routes are scheduled to take about an hour, from terminus to terminus.
Many stops are made and there is plenty of scope for delays especially
in the rush hours.
The bus
terminus is by CDG terminal 1 RER station.

| A
single adult fare will be about 3 to 5 Euro, and you can use all the
normal Paris
travel passes, (as long as they are valid for zones 1-5).
