    Getting TO/AROUND: CHEAPEST WAY to PARIS FROM CDG AIRPORT

    - First buy 10 tickets of Metro for less than 10 Euros at the RATP desk (near the bus stop), then go to Roissy Pole (Fast Free navette), Terminal T2.
    - Take the bus 351 to NATION or bus 350 to GARE DE L'EST (3 tickets of metro), it lasts nearly 90 minutes from Nation to CDG T1 or T2 or RER station.

    CHEAPEST WAY FROM ORLY AIRPORT
    Take the bus 285 or bus 183, only one tocket.

    METRO or BUS ?
    The METRO is a good way to travel in Paris, but the bus is better is you want to see PARIS for one ticket only : take bus 80 or 69. Buy tickets by 10, it's cheaper, and you could use them for BUS 351, 285, funicular (Montmartre)...
    You can buy also a ticket unlimited pass (PARIS VISIT) for 1, 2 or 3 days. this ticket can give some discount for museums.

    PARIS VISITE PRICES (3 zones with discounts for museums)
    1 day; 8.35 Euros
    2 D: 13.70 E
    3 D: 18.25 E
    5 D: 26.65 E

    *** Generally the METRO stop to work during the night after mindnight or 1am and start nearly at 6am .
    CHILDREN < 4: free - < 10: half-price

    TAXI RESERVATIONS:
    01 47 39 47 39
    01 49 36 10 10
    CARS and TRAFFIC
    it is like in Manhattan and all big cities (LONDON) , trafic is bad in some areas, and parking is not easy (the worse was London then Manhattan). Parking is better and cheaper during the wee.
