CDG to Port De Champerret

Hi All,

We are staying at Hotel De Banville near Port DE Champerret metro, trying to get here from CDG, can anyone see any mistakes in my plans.

1. Take RER B from CDG to Gare Du Nord.

2. Using same ticket ( is it possible to access line 4 from here ?) line 4 to Reaumur Sebastopol.

3. Line 3 to Port De Champerret.

First trip to Paris going for 3 days, looking forward to it.

Cheers Tattie.

Yes you can access line 4 fro Gare Du Nord.

You can also take an underground passage to La Chaplle on line 2 and transfer to Line 3 at Villiers

Someone else may be able to advise which connection are easier - how much luggage you have can make a big difference. There are a lot of stairs at some stations/connections.

Not sure which ticket option you are using but the €8,20 CDG to Paris ticket covers it I believe.

Thanks TrenSanDiego, yes that is another option, i just wanted to make sure i was correct in what route i was planning and you have confirmed that so thanks again.

By far the smoothest connection is: Roissybus from CDG to terminal, there cross the street and take the métro through the entrance at rue Auber/rue Scribe. Very few steps later, you%26#39;re on line 3, a few direct stations to Pte de Champerret. Only caveat though: you%26#39;ve got to get a ticket beforehand, since they are not selling any there. But it%26#39;s easy: you can buy them at the same time of the Roissybus%26#39;s (which is RATP too).

Thanks also RendezVousParis I will look into that.

I agree that the Roissybus to Opéra and then line 3 to Porte de Champerret would probably be easier, even though it takes an extra metro ticket.

|||

Ok, now i%26#39;m thinking about the Roissy bus, but i%26#39;m a bit confused,

1.can you pay the bus driver or do you need a ticket beforehand.

2.one of the previous posters mentions something about you cannot buy a ticket for the metro at opera and you have to get one beforehand.I may be wrong on this, I%26#39;m not exactly sure what they mean.

|||

You can just pay the driver as you get on, but you%26#39;ll need to pay him cash (Euros) so you%26#39;ll need to find an ATM first - unless you%26#39;re coming with Euros.

Of course you%26#39;ll be able to buy a ticket at Opera metro. It%26#39;s just like going into any station with a bloody big ticket office in the way of the tracks ;-)

Getting a pre-trip report (free) from www.paris48.com might be of value.

Ta wee morag (barry name BTW) do you know what RendezVousParis was on about then ? I will have a look at that report.

Well, many secondary entrances at the Paris métro don%26#39;t have any %26quot;bloody big ticket office in the way of the tracks%26quot;. It%26#39;s the case of this one, which is dedicated to line 3: you go down the stairs, there are the turnstiles, and that%26#39;s it. So you need to get a ticket beforehand (that you can buy at the same RATP kiosk where you%26#39;ll be able to buy your Roissybus ticket at CDG)

Sometimes, being a local helps knowing these little details...
