Question

How to I get from Charles De Gaulle Airport to the town of Antony, south of Paris, by bus or train?

Answer 1

I suspect that you are trying to get to Orly airport. If so the best thing to do it take the direct shutttle.

Air France runs an express shuttle between Orly and CDG airport. The hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. weekdays (7:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekends), with departures every 30 minutes. Travel time is about 50 minutes. A one-way ticket costs €16.

You can catch the bus at the following airport locations:

Orly-Ouest: exit door D on the arrivals level

Orly-Sud: exit door K

Answer 2

The RER train is direct (and faster than any other means of transportation) from the airport to Antony.

It couldn't be easier. Just look for the RER to Paris sign at the airport and take the train in the direction of St-Rémy-les-Chevreuse. Antony is the 24th stop from CDG1 (56 minutes. Price 8.20€). The only thing to watch out for is that the line forks out into 2 directions 2 stops before Antony, so make sure you are not going to the other direction which is Robinson.

On the platform, there are signs hanging from the ceiling and the stops that are lit are those that the next train is going to. In doubt, ask someone on the train (in case the lights don't work and they make an audio announcement instead). Here is the network map. Your line is RER B, it is a thick blue line running from the northern suburb of Paris to the southern suburb.

Antony has 4 RER stations. Depending on the address in Antony you want, you may want to get off at one of the next two stops after the Antony stop (if you are staying in the southern part of the town) on line B. If you are staying in eastern Antony, then you'll have to go the Chemin d'Antony station but it's on line C. In that case, in Paris, at the station called St-Michel Notre Dame you'd have to transfer to line C in the direction of Massy Palaiseau.

possibly bus, i went to Paris in 1997 and got a bus from airport in to Paris, hope you can speak some french as we found it very hard not being able to talk it to ask directions,

and signs in airport are mostly in French, and its very hard trying to converse with the locals

look on the lonely planet site they write books for all countries they should have info on that, and they have a chat section where you can ask people that have been there
