Hi.

It all depends on were you want to visit.

We only wanted to visit the tower last week, so we got off at CDG Etoile and then changed onto the Metro line 6 and then got off at Trocadero.

We went into the Tourist Information by the train station, and the lady there was VERY helpful and friendly. I would recommend going in there.

Hope this helps :thumbsup2

We asked for a return ticket and it cost €13.50

You can use this on the RER and the Metro, as long as you don't leave a Station. This confused me when the lady at the Tourist Info told me this, but it made sense once using the trains:)

You can get a different ticket that can be used on the buses and then freely on the Metro, but it wasn't what we needed. I would easily do the Metro system again, it was SOOOOOOO much easier than the London Underground:rotfl:

One piece of advice. There are a lot of street vendors around the Eiffel Tower but if you you just say "No,Thank you" and walk past, they are fine. The problem we encountered was the beggers. They seemed to specifically target the British. They were mainly women, who would ask if you spoke English, if you said Yes, they were then passing you a piece of paper with their "Plight" requesting money. If you said No, they continued on at you. My advice would be to ignore them. I know it sounds like I'm being hard, but you will understand once you are there.

We only visited the Tower, but if I can help with anything else, just ask :)

Yes, you HAVE to stay at the train station ALL day:rotfl:

I re-read what I wrote, I can see why it's confusing :rotfl2:

Your outbound ticket is only valid on the trains until you leave a station. Then when you start your return journey, it is valid while you are in the station.

So, for example..get the RER to CDG Etoile, off train, follow signs for Metro 6. So you are still in the station. You need to put your ticket in the turnstiles like you do here. So when you depart the second train, you leave the station.

Hope this makes more sense.

The metro is in the same station, and not complicated to locate. As in my other post, London Underground is much more difficult to navigate. Once off the metro, I will be honest, it was about a 10 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, downhill. So, subsequently, uphill, on the way back!! And includes steps.

But, that is if you were going to the Tower first.

I would work out what you want to see, and once at DLP, I would go to the Tourist Info office and they will help you step by step. I was VERY anxious about going into Paris, (we don't speak any French) and having done London during the summer, I thought there was no way we could navigate our way round. Believe me, it was simple. Especially with the help from the Tourist Office.
