Transportation from the airport

Taking the train from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Paris

For those of you who are staying in the 5th arrondissement near the metro stops « Les Gobelins»  or « Censier Daubenton », please find below some helpful directions on how to get from the airport to this neighborhood.

1. Go to the RER station at the airport.
2. Buy a ticket for Paris.  (about 8€)
While you are at it, you can already buy the metro tickets for Paris. These tickets are are also valid for the Parisian buses. 
If you are staying for a week, I suggest you get the weekly pass, around 15€.  This pass lets you travel in the metro and buses unlimitedly. 
There should also be 3 day passes available. You should see all theses options at the time of purchase.

3. With the RER ticket, take the « RER B », direction Paris.
4. Get off at the stop « Port Royal » (about 30 minutes from the airport, depending on whether you have a direct train or not)
5. When you arrive at « Port Royal », go out of the metro station and up to the street level.
6. Across the street you will see the bus stop for bus n° 91.  You want to take this bus in the direction of « Bastille ». 
Note :To make sure you’re  taking it in the right direction, it’s the bus that goes a little downhill.
7. Get off  at « Les Gobelins ».
8. Now, you can take out your little map that you printed out nicely, to help you find your hotel !
