Can anyone advise me what is the cheapest way to get to CDG T1 for a 7am flight on a Saturday? I will be staying close to Chatlet-Les Halles so the RER B could be a possibility but I can't find much information about the first departure time ..
Any advice would be great,
Cheers.

If you have a 0700 departure, and it is an internaitonal flight, you'll probably need to be at the airport at least by 0500 (for a Y or W booking) or 0530 (for a J booking). The earliest departure for RER B to CDG is 0516 from Denfert Rocherau, which will get you to CDG too late, or leaves little room for error. I guess a cab, or if not self funded, a hire car would be your best option (I doubt there are any shuttles that run that early in sufficient time for you to check in):
Paris airport shuttle services : schedules, fares travel time...
The only alternatives would be to book into an hotel close to the airport or change your flight.
I agree with VirginiaF - If you caught a taxi at least there would not be much traffic. However if you phone for a taxi the meter starts from its originating point, so it could have 10 euro or so already on the meter. It would be a risk to just try and hail a taxi at that time in the morning.
I think your best alternatives is, to either book a shuttle, or stay the night before at an airport hotel.
Thanks for your help. Might just look for a shuttle then.
Cheers.
I've done the early departure from CDG a couple of times and both times successfully used transfers booked through octopustravel.com.au - just reconfirm the day before.
