I'll pay for taxis or car service if it's that much easier. I want the easy button rather than the cheap one!!
But I've heard and read that Paris traffic is so insane, I wonder how taxis and car services and buses could be worth it or easy? ...
If you want to follow this up, it should probably be in a new thread on getting to/from CDG or in one of the several existing ones on that topic rather than in this one on the Tour.
Still, just wanted to add that, if you have a hotel room in Paris, another option is an airport shuttle van. Your hotel desk can book this for you. Only downside compared to a taxi is perhaps another couple of stops to pick up passengers, and it's much less expensive. If you're not at a hotel you can also book one on your own if you know where you'll be and when. (There are several companies, all about the same.)
