TRAVEL FROM AIRPORT TO CENTRAL PARIS:
One reason we chose Paris for the Open Science Meeting is that it is easy to get to from all parts of the world. Once you arrive in Paris, there are a number of options for transportation from the airport into the centre of town:
From Airport Charles de Gaulle (Roissy)
TAXI: This is not recommended between 9h and 10h, 12h and 14h, and
16h to 19h as traffic congestion will make this a long and costly
trip! Expect the cost to be between 40 and 50 Euros, depending
on traffic.
BUS + METRO or TAXI: There is a shuttle bus (ROISSYBUS) between
the airport and the rue Scribe near the Paris Opera. There are
buses every 30 minutes and the cost is approx. FF 50. From the
bus stop either walk to the Metro stop nearby, or take a taxi
toy our hotel. All this will take approximately 1 hour (the bus
takes 30-45 min.) Some of the buses also make stops at the Arc
de Triomphe ("Etoile") or the Porte Maillot convention center.
RER + METRO:There is a high-speed rail link called RER which you can take
from the airport. Take RER B line southbound (direction Orly,
Robinson or St Remy-les-Ch) and get off at 'Denfert Rochereau'.
Cost approx. FF 40. From there you can transfer to the METRO as
needed to get to your hotel. This route will take approximately
30 minutes.
From Orly Airport
TAXI: will cost approx. FF 150. This is not to be advised between 8h
and 10h or between 13h and 15h as traffix congestion will make
this a long and costly
journey.
RER + METRO: There is a high-speed rail link called RER which you can take
from the airport. Take RER B northbound (direction Charles de
Gaulle or Mitry-Claye) and get off at 'Denfert Rochereau'. Cost
approx. FF 30. There transfer to the METRO as needed to get to
your hotel. This route will take approximately 30 minutes.
