Consider taking the Air France Bus. Line 4 goes straight from CDG airport to Gare de Lyon.

Taxis can literally take you for a ride (often citing language misunderstandings even if you speak French). Also, they will sit in traffic jams while the AF drivers talk to each other and have tons of alternate routes and know where to avoid.

This bus is better than the RER because it's more secure. A few of my coworkers and one of my friends had either a passport or wallet taken off them on the RER. People are always getting off and on whereas on the AF bus, it's direct and everyone stays till you get into Paris.

That's how I got to work at CDG for 2 1/2 years.

Answer 3

around half an hour but depends a lot on the hours. On rush hours i would say more than an hour.

Answer 4

About an hour, and it would be very expensive.  Taking the train/Metro would be cheaper and probably take about the same amount of time.  Just in case you're interested, here's how to go:

Take RER B from the airport to Chatelet-Les Halles.  Transfer (at no cost) to the Metro ligne 1, direction Chateau de Vincennes.  Go 4 stops, and get off at Gare de Lyon.

P.S.  I've done this several times and never had a problem. Just be alert to your surroundings and don't let anything distract you.
