I know the metro will be most economical, but I am wondering what the approximate cost would be to take a taxi into the Latin Quarter/Arrondissment 5. We might want the convenience with luggage et al. We are a party of 3…2 who have not traveled Europe at all — so just the introduction to how much walking, up/down the metros or tube, I want to get an 'idea' if this might be one day we splurge. I am guessing around $75. Am I close?
Not even. Twenty bucks, a bit less maybe.
Thanks Ed! Wow…that seems very reasonable.
Well Gare du Nord is already "in town" . Its only about 3 miles from the center of the 5th.
The taxi is much more convenient than carrying luggage through the Metro. I've done both.
