Thanks.

In CDG the RER B trains to Gare du Nord, Chatelet etc... arrive inside
terminal 2.
T1 an T2 are linked by a light metro called CGDVAL : http://www.adp.fr
Cost : 8.40 € and duration : 25 mn (8.90 € with Roissybus) : http://www..ratp.fr
then "tarifs", etc... or
http://www.ratp.info/orienter/aeroport_roissy.php then clic on the
choosen transport.

In Paris the Ryanair bus stop is just on the West side of Palais des
Congrés.
The metro line 1 and RER A stations (Porte Maillot) are 5 mn away on
its East side.
Map : http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com/img/plan_paris.gif
Beauvais is 80 km away and it takes 1 h15 mn.
The cost is 13 € or 26 € for return ticket :

In Beauvais airport the Ryanair bus stop in just in front the exit of
the luggage room.

The local bus stop to the railways station is just the other side of
the street next to the fenced car park and costs about 1 €.
Map : http://www.beauvais.fr/pages/aimerbv...planreseau.jpg
Timetables of line #12 (or partial line #11B + about 500 m walk during
week ends or public holidays) on pages 30 to 35 :
http://www.beauvais.fr/pages/aimerbvs/transport.php then clic on
"guide horaires" at end of page
http://www.beauvais.fr/pages/accueil...=accueil=centr....
Timetables to print, since "I think" that there's none in the bus
shelter next to the railways station. But there's one at the airport
bus stop.

There is as well a direct bus shuttle between the railways station and
the airport which uses the same terminal bus stops than bus line #12.
I didn't find its timetables at the shuttle stops. Perhaps in :
http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com or http://www.paris-beauvais.fr

For Beauvais visit :http://www.beauvais.fr/eng/
Rather well rebuilt despite WWII destruction of the central medieval
area (reminds me Compiègne reconstruction or a german rebuilt city
preserving some isolated monuments here and there like Hildesheim for
ex.) :
Part of the roman city wall, towers & ruins, cathedral, tapestry
museum (manufacture similar to the Gobelins), bishop palace (museum,
main building closed : works ?), 2 medieval churches (one of the 10th
c. : closed for works ?), convents, old hospital, few timber houses on
the spared edges (North, East).

The trains arrive at gare du Nord :
http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com/acce...//www.ter-sncf...
prices added at : http://www.voyages-sncf.com
It takes 1 h 20 mn and costs 12 € or 24 € for returm ticket
So with the 1 € local bus that's 13 €, and rather similar to Ryanair
bus.
But the last is easier if you don't want to see the town of Beauvais.
