Paris Public Transport Plan http://www.ratp.fr
Public transport around CNES Paris - RER A, B, D “Chatelet - les Halles” - metro lines 1, 7, 11, 14 “Chatelet” - Metro line 4 “Les Halles”
For those arriving by Metro or RER at Châtelet-Les Halles station: be careful Châtelet-Les Halles is a challenging station! Probably the largest of the Paris metro network.
Follow "PLACE CARREE" followed by exit “PORTE NEUF”. Alternatively the “PORTE BERGER exit which is (poorly) indicated. The CNES entrance is just opposite to the "PORTE PONT NEUF” exit. The exit “PORTE BERGER” is also close: 100 m to CNES.
I you are not lucky and you don't find them, go out (you are on the wrong side of the Les Halles place) and ask for Pont Neuf street or "Chien qui Fume" restaurant. Good luck…
