Hi everyone :)
We have an early morning flight out of Paris and we're not sure the best way to get from our hotel near Rue Cler (Hotel Valadon), to CDG at such an early hour (4 or 5am).
Any suggestions? We are 2 adults and 1 child.
Thanks for any advice you can share!
Taxi or maybe you should get a hotel at the airport for your last night in Paris.
There's actually a Sheraton hotel located inside of CDG...maybe that's an option for you.
There is an Ibis hotel right at CDG. It's close enough that you can easily get to the free CDGVAL driverless shuttle train which operates 24/7 between all three terminals and the CDG 1 RER station. See here: http://tinyurl.com/2nylg8.
If you decide to stay in Paris, your cheapest option would be to take a taxi to Chatelet and a night bus from there to CDG. Noctilien #120 leaves Chatelet at 03:30, arriving at T2 at 04:10, T1 at 04:15, and T3 at 04:20. The next #120 bus leaves at 04:30, etc. Noctilien #121 leaves Chatelet at 04:25, arriving at T2 at 05:05, T1 at 05:10, and T3 at 05:15. The fare is four single tickets (a total of 6€).

Any rough estimates on cost on a taxi? I have no idea of the distance involved here.
Are there any airport shuttles that run in the hotel zones at this time?
Golden Air in Rick's Paris or France 2008 would be about 63E, probably plus xE per bag, before 6am. A taxi would depend on the amount of traffic...I would guess anywhere between 50-60E plus bags and tip.
When we wanted to reserve a taxi to go to Gare de Lyon for the next morning, we were told that the taxis no longer take reservations for the following morning. (We were catching a 9am TGV.) We could only call 15 minutes or so before we wanted to leave! As it turned out Madame Gourdal called half an hour before to guarantee that we would be there on time.
Next month we'll be flying out of CDG so I think I'll reserve Golden Air from home shortly before our 2-week trip begins.
Bonne journée.
Thanks very much for all of your suggestions - we now have a few options and appreciate the advice :)
About a month ago I saw on the Ibis hotel website for CDG that if you book well enough ahead you can get a room for 49 euro. Cheaper than a taxi from Paris in the middle of the night.
I have not been able to get through to Ibis online.
My problem is that we are arriving June 2nd close to midnight, so in actuality it is really June 3rd I am trying to book for and they will not let me arrive and depart June 3rd!
You have to book for the night of June second, departuring June 3rd.
We have the same issue, with a 7 am flight, in May out of CDG and hired ParisShuttle ahead of time (there are 4 of us, plus port a crib and stroller, so I told them extra luggage). It was 76 Euros. I thought it was a little high, but I wanted it taken care of ahead of time!! I booked online.
I have used YellowVan ([email protected])6 times and they were always on time.
