It is a very short time to do something interesting.
If you land at 12, you won%26#39;t reach the RER station before 12:45, and then Center Paris before 1:30. Then you%26#39;%26#39;ll have to take the RER again back to the Airport at 5:00, what gives you just 3 1/2 hours.
Well, if you are really decided to do so, you could have a short walk in Saint-Germain neighbourhood and Ile de la Cité, where you will see Notre Dame.
To check the RER B hours : http://www.ratp.fr. Choose the trip from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Saint-Michel Notre Dame.

I would take the train RER B to station St.Michel which is directly opposite Notre Dame, visit the islands in the Seine. Have lunch at som restaurant terrace. Cross over the Seine at the tip of Ile de la Cité (Pont Neuf) to the right bank. Visit the Louvre - only from the outside - it is still a fantastic and %26quot;grand%26quot; palace.
A stroll down through the park (Jardins des Tuileries) with a drink in a café under the trees - go to the end of the park to Place de la Concorde.
Grab metro line nr. 1 (direction La Défense) up to the Arc de Triomphe (metro stop Charles de Gaulle-Étoile). A short walk down Champs Elysées if you like.
Take the metro line nr. 6 (direction Nation) from Charles de Gaulle-Étoile to Trocadéro, right opposite the Eiffel Tower. Walk over the Seine (Pont d%26#39;Iéna) to the tower.
There is a taxi stand to your right on Quai Branly between the tower and the Seine.
Taxi back to station St. Michel - train RER B back to airport - or let the taxi go all the way to the airport.
Idea ?

I think GitteK%26#39;s itinerary may be abit on the ambitious side for the time you have available. I like the one on the other thread better, but you will have to watch your time. Fortunately that post has made it easy for you to do this.
Grab something on the fly for your lunch and make a quick picnic by the Seine. There are lots of places between Luxembourg and Notre Dame cathedral and some of them even have food that is edible!
Also note my post on your other thread re buying a one day Mobilis pass.
Good luck! And enjoy Paris!

I agree re keeping it simple, RER to and from the
St. Michel-Notre-Dame station.
