My mother and I will be arriving in Paris on November 21. Can anyone recommend a realiable shuttle service that can take us from CDG to our hotel in the La Defense area? I really don't want to take a cab as I don't want to have to worry about the meter.

Objection to taking the train? Short ride. It is one of the many things I enjoyed about Europe...

Robin, As the previous reply mentioned, have you thought about using the RER? That will get you to Gare du Nord or one of the larger stations in Paris, and you can either use the Metro or a Taxi from there to your hotel. You may find it helpful to have a look at the excellent parisbytrain.com website. Happy travels!

Robin, As others have said, why not the RER? The RER is a really sweet ride. also unless youre going to spend all of your time in the La Defense area, you may as well learn how to use the RER. I just wish we had something like a subway where i live. Happy trails.

I don't know a shuttle service but as others have said the RER B takes you to the Chatelet-les Halles station where you make the simple change to the RER A which takes you directly to La Defense. The second choice is the Air France bus to Etoile/Champs Elysees. From there it's one stop on the RER A to La Defense.
