All Direct Transfer Routes From Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)

CDG 30 min

Paris (CDG) → Paris City Center (Gare du Nord, Châtelet & Latin Quarter)

From: €2.50 ($2.70) / €14.00 Train
Top Pick: RER B Train / €56 Official Taxi

For Gare du Nord, Châtelet–Les Halles, and Saint-Michel (Latin Quarter / Notre-Dame), take the RER B Train (30–38 mins, €14.00 including free Metro transfers across Paris). If you are 2–4 people with luggage, take an Official Paris Taxi from the signed taxi rank outside arrivals (strict legal flat rate of €56 to Right Bank or €65 to Left Bank) or pre-book a Private Transfer. (Note: the old RoissyBus to Opéra was permanently discontinued by IDFM on March 1, 2026).

CDG 9 min

Paris (CDG) → Disneyland Paris (Marne-la-Vallée Chessy)

From: €19.00 ($20.60)
Top Pick: TGV High-Speed Train (9 min!)

The fastest transfer in Europe is the SNCF TGV High-Speed Train from CDG Terminal 2 Station directly to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy (Disneyland Park Gates) in just 9 to 12 minutes (€19–€35)! However, if you are a family of 3–6 with strollers/luggage or land at Terminal 1/3, a Pre-Booked Private Van (€70–€85 total per vehicle, 35 mins direct to your Disney hotel door) is cheaper and much easier than buying 4 individual train or Magical Shuttle tickets (€24 × 4 = €96).

CDG 45 min

Paris (CDG) → Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro & Champs-Élysées

From: €14.00 ($15.20)
Top Pick: RER B + RER C / €65 Flat-Rate Taxi

Because the Eiffel Tower (7th Arrondissement) requires two train transfers with stairs (RER B to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, then RER C to Champ de Mars–Tour Eiffel — ~55 mins, €14.00), couples and families with luggage are much better off taking an Official Flat-Rate Taxi (€65 to Eiffel Tower / Left Bank, or €56 to Champs-Élysées / Right Bank) or a Pre-Booked Private Car.

Terminals & Station Layout

Terminals 1, 2 (2A–2G), and 3 are connected by the free CDGVAL automated shuttle train. Two RER B train stations serve the airport: "Aéroport CDG 1" (for T1 & T3) and "Aéroport CDG 2 TGV" (between T2C/2D and T2E/2F).

Taxi Rules & Scams to Avoid

Fake taxi drivers aggressively approach passengers inside Terminal 2 arrivals wearing fake badges and charging €100–€150. Only follow the overhead floor signs to the official "Taxis Parisiens" queue outside, where law mandates a strict flat rate of €56 (Right Bank) or €65 (Left Bank).

Late-Night Arrivals (After Midnight)

The last RER B train leaves CDG around 23:50. After midnight, Noctilien night buses N140 and N143 run to Gare de l’Est, or use an official flat-rate taxi / pre-booked private car.

STRESS-FREE DOOR-TO-DOOR OPTION

Prefer a Driver Waiting at Paris (CDG) Arrivals?

Traveling with heavy suitcases, young children, or landing after midnight? Pre-book a fixed-price private airport transfer or express rail pass on Klook with instant confirmation and no meter haggling.

ARRIVAL CONNECTIVITY & RIDE-HAILING TIP

Need Mobile Data at the Terminal for Uber / Bolt / G7 Taxi & Maps?

Airport Wi-Fi often drops outside the terminal curb where Uber / Bolt / G7 Taxi pickup zones are located. Install a local eSIM before your flight so you can order a ride, translate station signs, and show digital train QR tickets immediately after landing.
