The RER is the cheapest and quickest way of travelling between Charles de Gaulle Airport and central Paris. The RER CDG Airport transfer takes you into the heart of Paris, from where you can hop onto a metro line or different RER line and travel on to where you need to get to all on this one ticket, as long as your destination is within zone 1.
Check the Downloads section for a Paris Metro map and RER map so you can plan your route.
It takes around 30 - 45 minutes to get from Charles de Gaulle into central Paris and the trains usually run every 10-20 minutes. This is a single journey ticket which can be used on connections between RER B stations and Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport or vice-versa, between zones 1 and 5 as long as you are travelling in the same direction (ie. it's not possible to travel from Charles de Gaulle (zone 5) into zone 1, change lines, and then travel out to zone 3).
The RER stops at each airport terminal, is clearly marked, and can be reached easily on foot.

I have used this website to order train tickets on our last three trips to Paris. They arrived within two day of ordering, great customer service. Prior to this we used to queue for at least 40 minutes to buy tickets, now we come off our flight straight onto the first train into the centre of Paris.
The tickets arrived promptly and were a great benefit once we arrived CDG airport, it allowed us to go straight to metro platform and avoid standing in a long line waiting to buy tickets
Arrived within 24 hours of placing order.
Buying the RER ticket in the U.K. from HelloParis saved me queuing at the airport RER ticket office or at a ticket machine and thus about 30 minutes in getting the RER train to Paris. Well worthwhile.
Very useful to have purchased RER tickets in advance. Quite a long walk to station from airport terminal so good to be able to get onto train to Paris without having to bother about buying tickets. And also helpful for return.
This was easy to purchase through the website and arrived by post promptly. The tickets worked in the machines at the RER and usefully avoided having to queue for tickets at the airport or in the city on return.
Who really wants to worry about buying a ticket for the train when you've just flown into Paris CDG. It's much more convenient to walk through Customs straight onto the train with the ticket in your pocket - Highly reccomended
