Names of metro stops

Hi... I need help

I%26#39;m going to paris next week, and I would like to know the names of my metro/RER stops ahead of time.

(1) How to get from CDG airport to Argentine-metro

(2) how to get from Argentine to Paris-Nord station-ReR

(3)how to get from paris-nord to CDG airport.

This will save me a lot of time, and worry

Merci

Hi shawana80

I%26#39;m sure there are experts who could answer this better, but since nobody has yet, I had a look at the metro map at www.ratp.info/orienter/f_plan_ang.php… and this is how it looks to me:

(1) Take RER-B in the direction of Robinson/Saint-Remy-les-Chevreuse to Chatelet-les Halles, change to Metro line 1 in the direction of La Defense to Argentine.

(2) The opposite way back again - Metro line 1 direction Chateau de Vincennes to Chatelet-lesHalles, change to RER-B in the direction of CDG - Gare du Nord is a station on that line (OR change to RER-D direction Orry-la-Ville/Coye - Gare du Nord is on that line too).

(3) RER-B direction CDG

As I said, there may be better ways to do it - this looks OK to me. Some of the changes will require long walks and a lot of looking out for signs pointing in the right direction, but as long as you keep your eyes open, you should be OK.

Hi Penny

Nice to see a fellow Australian participating on TA Paris - there seem to be more and more of us these days!

Your suggestion looks about right to me too by RER B from CDG as Shawana requested. If Shawana was not intending to travel via RER she could also take the Air France Bus to Charles de Gaulle Etoile (Arc de Triomphe) and either taxi to her hotel or metro to Argentine in the direction you indicated.

Hey thanks a lot for your replies..

Can i take the air france shuttle even if i%26#39;m not traveling on air france? if so how much is the ride?

Hi Shawarna

Anyone can take the Air France shuttle (a lot of people assume like you did that you have to travel Air France BTW) and it is 13 Euros one way to Arc de Triomphe or 20 Euros return I believe, so a little more expensive than the RER and metro at about 8 Euros to 8.5 Euros each way (but simpler I think)

It%26#39;s simple enough to use the %26#39;..ITINÉRAIRE..%26#39; fature of the main RATP web site to plot routes from station-to-station (Déprt-to-Arrivée) throughout the system...get detailed instruction and direction as well as detailed local street maps for the neighborhoods of arrival stations.

hi, regarding the air france shuttle bus - does the return ticket allow you to return on a different day, ie an open return?

thanks in advance

Well, just examine the network map for the metro/RER in Paris.

The white circles/ovals mean the lines have a shared station and you can transfer there. The solid dots mean it%26#39;s a station but no connections to other lines.

Learn to use the %26#39;itinerary%26#39; feature in the transportation website at

www.ratp.fr

For CDG, you need to know which terminals are involved with your airline b/c there are two stops for CDG (one at terminal 2 and one a short ride away by %26#39;tram%26#39; at terminal 1).

It%26#39;s a simple %26#39;..open return..%26#39;...for any coach on that Les Cars Air France route..from either of the pick-up points for that route...any time...any day.
