if you land at 12:00 get your luggages at 12:45 then take the %26quot;RER B %26quot; train to PARIS ( special fare ticket ) step down at %26quot;LUXEMBOURG%26quot; station (13:30 pm) walk in the %26quot;jardin du Luxembourg%26quot; with the french senate building ( 13:50..) go outside this garden and go down the %26quot;saint michel%26quot; boulevard , on the right hand side %26quot;the panthéon%26quot; and %26quot;la sorbonne %26quot; university , go down near the intersection with %26quot;boulevard saint germain%26quot; and make 200 m walking to the %26quot;quartier latin%26quot; on the right , find lot of cheap restaurants and arriving on the %26quot;Seine %26quot; river take a lokk at the right , follow the river and see %26quot;Notre dame de Paris%26quot; ( a church I guess !!?? maybe a supermarket on sales.....because of people waiting in front of it ..joek !!) (14:15) move behind the cathedral and go visiting %26quot;île saint louis%26quot; wonderful Island (15:00) after that take an ice cream at %26quot;berthillon%26quot; and go outside this island left bank to fetch bus number 24 (direction %26quot;gare saint lazare %26quot;) step down at %26quot;pont du carroussel%26quot; walk on the right to pass the %26quot;pont du carroussel%26quot; bridge (15:30 ?) sotp at the top of this bridge and take your camera , on the right and on the left .....maybe one of the best photo to take ...continue walking and strait visit %26quot;la cour carré%26quot; of le louvre museum with the %26quot;ugly%26quot; ( my opinion ...) pyramid turn your head on the left and take a walk under a gate ( like the one in Berlin ) to see %26quot;les tuileries%26quot; garden with the %26quot;champs élysées%26quot; in the background and the %26quot;tour Eiffel%26quot; on the left ...!!! (16:00/16:30) now go under the other side of Louvre and follow %26quot; avenue de l%26#39;opéra for a 400m walk...after that take the tube at %26quot;pyramides%26quot; station , line number 7 to %26quot;gare de l%26#39;est %26quot;station, the step down and in front of you , changin of platform take line number 5 to %26quot;gare du nord%26quot; ( next step ) then go upstairs



to take RER line B to Charles de Gaulle ( final direction written on the light manels above you ) (16:45) arriving at Charles de Gaulle ( be careful with the terminal 1 ..2...or 3 not to descend the wrong station !!!!! and that%26#39;s it ....

When you take the RER train from Gare du Nord to the airport, check that you get the right train. Not all trains go to the airport - the departure boards will show which ones do. Have a great trip.

When you get to the RER station at CDG buy a one day Zones 1-5 MOBILIS pass for 12€10. This will give you unlimited acces to the métro, bus and RER system and will cover your round trip from/to CDG.



Not only is this a lot more convenient than buying individual métro tickets, thus saving you time, but will also save you money since the RT ticket alone from CDG to Paris costs 16€.
