Best way to get to hotel from Charles de Gaulle airport

Hello,





This is my first trip to Paris and I was wondering how do I get to my hotel at 10 Boulevard Montmartre, Paris 75009, France from the airport? I will be arriving at 11:30 am. with a carry-on and willing to take the metro.





Also, to get back to the airport for an 11:30 am flight what time would I have to leave Paris?





Thanks

According to Google Maps, the closest metro station is Grands Boulevards. To get there, alas, involves two changes.





At the airport, follow the signs for %26quot;RER trains to Paris%26quot;. Buy a ticket into central Paris, and take the train. Get off at Gare du Nord, and change there to metro Line 4 towards Porte d%26#39;Orleans, getting off at Strasbourg St-Denis. Take either Line 8 towards Balard or Line 9 towards Pont de Sevres (they run parallel here) and get off at Grands Boulevards.





Getting back to the airport will take about as long as the journey in. Check with your airline how much in advance you should be at the airport.

You could also get off the RER at Gare du Nord and hop on the 39 bus (direction Issy / Val de Seine) for about 10 minutes and step off right outside your hotel between the Grands Boulevards and Richlieu-Drouot metro stops.

Thank you very much for your help!

I%26#39;d take the Roissybus which leaves you at the Opera Garnier. The metro is across the street in front of the Opera. Take line 8 in the direction Creteil-Prefecture 2 stops to Grands Boulevards. Making a lot of changes in the RER/Metro is a pain with a lot of luggage and I think it%26#39;s nicer to approach Paris overground than on the RER.

Best to reach CDG 3 hours prior to your return flight.
