Same price as the métro and slower to Châtelet, so it earns its place only for the RER B corridor: Denfert-Rochereau, Saint-Michel, Châtelet–Les Halles, Gare du Nord and the change to Charles de Gaulle.

The last shuttle leaves at 23:35 and the first at 06:00, the operator's own figures, which makes this the earliest thing to stop at night.

The change at Antony is a real one, with gates: keep the ticket, and remember the RER B leg is only priced here on the airport ticket, not on an ordinary EUR 2.55 single.

A Navigo pass that is valid on line 14 to the airport is not valid here. Anyone on a weekly or monthly pass should take the métro.
