The RER (regional express network) Line B serves the airport.

The nearest Metro station to Bon Marché is Sèvres-Babylone. Take line
10 (in the direction of Gare d'Austerlitz) to Cluny La Sorbonne where
there is an underground link (though a fairly long one) to RER Line B at
St-Michel Notre-Dame. Take an RER train from there to Aéroport Charles
de Gaulle.

Alternatively, depending on precisely where you are starting, walk to
St-Sulpice station and take Line 4 (direction Porte de Clignancourt) to
Les Halles and take RER line B from there.

Check with your airline which terminal you are flying from and which of
the two RER stations at the airport you should use.

When you say the chunnel, I assume you mean the Eurostar train to London
Waterloo. The single fare from Paris for a UK resident is GBP 149 (=
213 euros), and it's usually a lot cheaper for French or US residents.
Where did your 427 euro quote come from?

thanks for the helpful info The quote for the Eurostar was from the
sncf website. During our stay should we get some sort of metrocard and
also the museum card/Thanks again

The museum cards are generally thought to be a bad deal unless you are there
at a very busy time and the card will allow you to bypass the ticket queues.
Buying une carnet, a set of ten metro tickets, is usually fine for most
Paris visitors. When on the RER line B to CDG check for placards on the
train telling which airlines fly from which terminals.

bonjour
you have a direct train from Gare du Nord, about 45' ride
and it is an easy connection with subway; you can actually buy a
combined subway + train ticket (around 8 euros)
there are 2 train stations in cdg, so make sure you get off at the right
one for your terminal
have a nice flight

Michel Haven't seen you around here for a while. Good to hear from you. If

Both SNCF and Eurostar quoted me (if I told them I was resident in
France) 223.50 euros per person for most trains, but Eurostar had at
least one train per day for 35 euros (yes 35!) for the dates I tried.
You probably wouldn't get that price for an early morning departure,
though.

As others have said, probably not, unless you plan to spend your whole
stay in museums and Metro trains. However, if you are there for most of
a calendar week, it may be worth buying a Carte Orange Hebdomadaire for
Zones 1-2. That gives you unlimited travel on Metro, RER and buses
within the city of Paris, cost 15.70 euros, are valid only from Monday
to the following Sunday, and you would need to provide a passport-size
photo.

Don't forget that a carnet ticket isn't valid to CDG, you will still
need to buy a separate ticket for that jouney.

I think the museum card is a terrific value that includes not just the big
museums but also lots of little interesting attractions that I might
otherwise skip, plus the ability to duck in and out and return in subsequent
days.

Skipping the queues is just one of the advantages.

I suppose if you don't like museums the card is not so great, but I have
never heard anyone other than Stephen Ellenson suggest that the cards are
"thought to be a bad deal." I just have to disagree with that.

And get there EARLY -- the lineups are very badly managed, and the
security checks take time.

Agreed, two hours is enough time to get in line stay in line, pass through
2 checkpoints and narrowly escape a pat down on the jet way on your way to
the last bus to your plane (or the doors shutting as the case may be) It is
not enough time for duty free or a cup of espress)

A thousand pardons. That should've read, "The museum cards are generally
thought to be a bad deal *by me* *IMHO* unless you........."

Speaking of coffee, you might want to avoid it before leaving your
hotel; you will be in lineups for a looong time, and the washrooms are
one floor down ....
