Bienvenue à Paris


For those of you that have never visited Paris or for those that may have forgotten how to travel into Paris by train. This information will assit you to get you on your way. Please note this is for passengers flying via Charles de Gaulle airport!

1- When exiting airport you need to look for signs stating 'Sortie' (Exit)
2- Turn right out of departures and head towards signs stating Paris par Train or RER. This is a long walk where you just keep walking right in the airport until you see the train station.
3- Locate a green billet machine and purchase a book of 10 billets for EUR 11.60. These will get you into Paris and you will have plenty left over. 1 ticket will get you into Paris from Charles de Gaulle
4- Follow Paris Sud signs
5- Board train that travels direct to Gare du Nord; usually left platform
6- Alight at Gare du Nord, walk up stairs to Metro line 5 heading towards Place d'Italie; destination Oberkampf. Changed to Metro line 9.

This is the metro line that will take you into the heart of Paris.

Take Metro line 9 towards Pont de Sévres and alight at Franklin D Roosvelt and chqnge to Metro Line 1 heading towards Chàteau d Vincennes; just one station stop Champs Elysées Clemenceau. Two stops after this station will take you to Musée du Louvre.

My suggestion to you is find a metro information desk and ask, "Je voudrais un petit plan, sil vous plait".
