    I'm going this weekend and get there quite late, so I might have to get a taxi to the hotel. Does anyone know how expensive they are, or how easy to get?

    The last time I was there the Taxis were taking Francs so I am not sure if they have done the usual euro conversion of doubling the existing prices an then converting it.

    But the Train runs from the Airports, I have flown into both Orly and Charles De Gaulle and I think it was CdG last time and its train is pretty much 24hrs. Not sure about Orly to be honest.

    There are also buses.. which unlike Ireland run quiet late.

    It has been along time since I have been there so I reckon dont take what I say as totally right. Both airports.

    PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Rail: Train: The RER rapid train service line C departs from both terminals. Orlyval provides a frequent shuttle which has métro connections to Denfert-Rochereau, St-Michel and Châtelet les Halles. Road: Taxi: There are plenty of taxis outside the Arrivals area which run to central Paris (journey time: approximately 35 minutes). Bus: ADP shuttle buses leave from both terminals. Frequent RATP buses. The Orlybus runs to Denfert-Rochereau RER and métro station. The Jetbus runs to métro Villejuif-Louis Aragon. The Airport Shuttle runs to central Paris (journey time: one hour).

    A taxi between central Paris and Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport takes about 45 minutes. Chauffeur-driven limousines are available for hire (Tel: 01 40 71 84 62), charging approximately 600FF between the airport and central Paris.

    Hope that is helpful.

    I was in Paris in Janurary, and flew into Charles de Gaulle - instantly we were asked if we wanted a taxi - so we said OK - DON'T - From what I can tell there are all these guys standing around offering taxi's - these are private cars and while they are all big merc's and all have official licences and meters and so forth - they cost twice as much - go out and get a white taxi at the rank (which is right outside the airport) - they have plates on the rooves similar to here.

    Our taxi from the airport to the hotel - €34
    Our taxi from the hotel to the airport - €14

    Bit of a difference....

    Be aware that Beauvais (used by Ryanair) is way out of town and other than the normal bus, connections aren't great (beware of getting the last flight out of Beauvais).
