My flight out of CDG leaves at 06:30 AM. I'm conflicted between seeking very early morning transportation out of Paris or getting a room closer to the airport for my last night.
Any suggestions? Experiences?
Thanks!

For a 6:30 AM flight, I spend the night at the airport if I am coming into Paris the day/night before my date of departure. If I am already in town, I spend the night at my hotel. I don't check out of a hotel to get to CDG to check into a second hotel. I just wake up early on departure day or do not sleep the night before.

When I have early morning flights like yours, I always stay at a property by the airport.

We asked ourselves the same question before a recent trip to London.
Booked an airport hotel. Arrived late afternoon. Read books and watched TV.
Had a nice dinner in the restaurant, read some more and went to sleep.
Got-up in plenty of time before our flight and were very happy to be close to the terminal. Ten minutes.
We did this because on a prior trip to Paris our shared van was headed to Orly when we needed to get to CDG.
I heard the concierge make the reservation so the mix-up was with the transport company. Second van took a long time to arrive and then picked-up others.
We did make our flight but at the last minute.
Lesson learned.
Works for us.

We always move to an airport hotel when we have a very early departure. Stayed at the Hilton at CDG one time and it was convenient and had a decent restaurant for dinner.
