The RER B train will take you from Charles de Gaulle Airport to several central stations (Gare du Nord, Châtelet les Halles and Saint Michel-Notre Dame) in half an hour for about 11 euros.
From these stations there are several subway lines that can take you to the closest to your hotel, using the same train ticket.
Trains, operating from 05h to 24h and with a frequency of between 10 and 15 minutes, depart from the station near terminal 3 of the airport.
A good option to stay in Paris is a hotel located near a subway station and a bit far from the center, to avoid higher prices. We chose the Etoile Pereire, located 300 meters from Pereire metro and RER stop and 10 minutes walk from the Arc de Triomphe. In addition to its magnificent location, the hotel serves an excellent breakfast and has one of the best quality / price ratios in the city.
