Van Hien's Guidebook

Take the RER B train from Terminal 2 or Terminal 1, then get off at Arcueil-Cachan station. Be aware that some train does not stop at that station. Consider to buy 1-5 zone Paris visit ticket at the airport’s train station. You can use it for this ride, during your stay and for the return.

Take Orlyval shuttle to Antony RER train station, then take the RER B and get off at Arcueil-Cachan station

If you plan to climb up to the Eiffel Tower, book your ticket online on the tower’s official website to avoid queues, you’ll save a lot of time (hours).

To go to Paris center, you should park your car in the apartment’s parking and use public transport to avoid traffic and save money. It is very difficult to find a parking spot in Paris too. The cost of parking in Paris center is around 6€/h. Check my Paris visit ticket topic out in this guide for more details.

The apartment is in the Zone 3 of the Parisian Metro system. If you plan to visit mostly Paris downtown (Zone 1-2), buy a 1-3 zone Paris Visit Ticket. Fares: 1 day=€13.55, 2 days=€20,05, 3 days=€30,10, 5 days=€43,30. Buy a 1-5 zone Paris Visit Ticket instead if you need also to go to/from CDG airport, and/or to visit Zone-4-5 sites like Château de Versailles or Disneyland… You can go anywhere in Paris area (3 or 5 zones respectively) using all RER, Metro, tramway and buses.
