Yes.

There is a train station below the airport which goes into Paris city centre, connectingwith the metro network. The ticket office speaks English and accepts credit cards. It couldn't be simpler.

here's a picture we took on the airport platform as the train came in - http://www.lisashea.com/lisastrips/yr2005/davincicode/sun/mark/t_dsc00211.jpg

Your choices are the RER B suburban train line, which runs from CDG to Gare du Nord and Chaletet stations in Paris, or the Air France buses, which run to the Arc du Triomphe, Gare Montparnasse, and I believe Gare du Lyon.

I've taken both, usually the train. I think they're both pretty good, and I can't really recommend one over the other.

There is not a regular Metro station at CDG, and your Metro tickets are not valid for travel on the RER, so be sure to stop at the Billeterie and buy RER tickets when you go back out, even if the train is right next to you waiting with its doors open. If you don't, you won't be able to get through the turnstiles in CDG, and you'll wind up paying a fine.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is the largest airport serving Paris and the second busiest passenger airport in Europe after London Heathrow.

Located 23 kilometres (14 miles) north-east of Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport offers numerous transport links to the French capital city by road and rail. Paris CDG Airport was one of the first airports in Europe to have an integrated train system serving it: the RER rapid TGV train service reaches central Paris in approximately 45 minutes, Disney World in ten minutes and Lille and Brussels in an hour. Regular RATP buses, taxis and limousines also operate from Paris CDG Airport, and road access from Paris is on the A1 via Porte de la Chapelle.

There is an RER train which goes straight to central Paris, or there are also Air France coaches. It's hard to say which would suit you best without knowing where exactly you're wanting to go. Feel free to email or IM me - I live in the Paris area and use CDG a lot (although admittedly I usually take my car!)

I think there is! I always get there by train but I'm sure there is one on the airport may be you should go here and check if there is a station that is the web page of the Paris Metro.

I was in Paris a little over a month ago, and I took the Air France shuttle bus from CDG to the Arc De Triomph. It's about 45 minutes long. There are 3 different routes. Even if you didn't fly on Air France, anyone can use it!

There used to be a bus directly from Le Jardin de Tuilleries near downtown Paris to de Gaulle airport.

I think there still is.
