Paris Experts: Travel from CDG to Paris

Hi, I understand the easiest and cheapest way of arriving to the city is via the RER line at CDG. Since I will be staying in Paris for 6 nights, I was wondering what type of Paris Visite Pass I should purchase? Is there any way of purchasing this pass at the Airport? I also understand that the Carte Musee is a worthwhile pass. What are your reccomendations for the length of a carte musee pass? Thanks for all the help.

Arrive on Saturday at 8:50 Am.

The RER is the cheapest but not necessarily the easiest. The easiest is to walk outside and get into a cab, and let them drive you to your door.





If you are staying anywhere near Opera, then it would be good to use the Roissybus. If you are staying near Etoile, Gare Lyon or Gare Montparnasse, then the Air France bus is easy. You can make metro connections from any of these bus drop-offs.





The Carte Orange is good for Mondays-Sundays, but can%26#39;t be bought after Wednesday for the week, so no good for Sat/Sun when you arrive. You could just try a carnet (%26quot;kar-nay%26quot;) of 10 metro tickets, then buy a pass if you think you%26#39;ll use it.





I don%26#39;t recommend a Carte Musée unless you know which museums you want, what their entry fees are, and compare that to the pass%26#39;s benefits. Often it is not cost-efficient, especially in off-season. All museums owned by the city of Paris (vs. national) are free anyway.
