How to get there?
From Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport
Airport Transfer Service:
The easiest and most relaxing way to get to the city centre is by booking an airport transfer service. The driver will be waiting for you at the arrival terminal with a sign displaying your name and will take you to your destination in no time.
Taxi:
A taxi from Charles de Gaulle to Paris takes approximately half an hour and costs between €50 and €55. There is an additional charge of 15% from 5 PM until 10 AM, which also applies on Sundays and public holidays.
RER:
The RER line B (Paris' express train) connects CDG Airport with the city centre in half an hour. Key stops include Gare du Nord (25 minutes), Châtelet-Les-Halles (28 minutes), and Denfert-Rochereau (35 minutes). A train leaves the airport every 10 to 15 minutes. A single journey from Charles de Gaulle to Paris costs €10 (zones 1-5). This ticket is also valid for the metro (subway) from one of the train stations to your hotel.
Roissybus:
The Roissybus connects the airport with Place Charles Garnier, next to Place de l’Opéra, taking about 60 minutes. A one-way ticket costs €11. The bus runs from Charles de Gaulle to Paris from 6 AM to 12:30 AM, departing every 15-30 minutes, and from 5:15 AM to 12:30 AM from Opéra to Charles de Gaulle. The Roissybus stops at all airport terminals (except 2G) before heading to the city centre, dropping passengers off at rue Scribe at the corner of rue Auber. We recommend this bus for those staying close to Place de l’Opéra and who can walk to their hotel from the bus station.

Two local buses connect the airport with the city centre:
