Is it advisable to take the RER B from CDG to Paris if I have 1 large suitcase and a couple of carry on bags? Would I be better with a cab or shuttle?
Thank you in advance,

Yoda, we personally don%26#39;t like to do the trains with our luggage after having traveled all night. I%26#39;d take a cab or shuttle directly to your hotel and then use the metro or train after that.

I%26#39;m with Vicki.
After 15-20 hours of traveling I%26#39;m not up to lugging my suitcase up and down flights of stairs or dragging it across cobblestones for several hundred yards once I get there.
Can it be done - oh yes. Would I recommend it? Having done it once, the answer is a resounding no - never again.

It depends on your budget, the time you%26#39;re travelling and whether you can have a shower as soon as you arrive at your destination!! Oh and you need to be reasonably fit too. In other words which is more important to you - comfort or more money in your wallet?

Are you traveling alone? If so the shuttle( Bluvan.fr ) I took last summer cost me 25 Euros including luggage .
The taxi runs about 40 -65 euros depending on the traffic. The luggage has a euro per bag charge.
You can take the RER B to the Latin Quarter but the suitcase and all those carryons make it much harder.
I would for a first time visitor recommend you take a shuttle and then after all your luggage is at your hotel use the Metro for getting around.

Thank you all for your insight. I think I will try the shuttle. I am sure I can find recommended shuttles somewhere on this site.
