TRAVEL PLANS

How to reach Paris from the airports

From Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport. From the airport you can reach Paris by bus, by train, or by taxi. However, the airport is situated some distance from the city, so by taxi the trip will be expensive. ‐ Buses (the “Roissybus”) call at all airport terminals. They go to the Opera area, from where you can take a metro or a taxi. Buses take around 45 to 60 minutes and they cost 9 €. ‐ There are also Air France buses to Paris. There are five different lines. The RER is a train that links with the metro (underground, signposted M). It leaves from the Charles de Gaulle airport railway station, terminal 2 and calls at terminal 1 as well. Some RER trains travel direct to Paris, while other stop at every station. Once in Paris, alight at Châtelet station, where you can change for many metro lines. The RER takes 30 to 40 minutes to the centre of Paris, and it costs 8.20 €.

From Orly airport. ‐ The bus “Orlybus”, which goes to place Denfert‐Rochereau, in the south of Paris (with links to the metro) ‐ The train “OrlyVal”, which goes to Antony (8 minutes) and links with RER that you take until Denfert‐Rochereau (15 minutes) or Châtelet‐Les Halles (25 minutes) where you can take the metro. The trip from Orly to Paris by OrlyVal and RER costs 9,30 €.

Reaching Paris by train The French rail company, SNCF, provides direct service from most European countries using regular trains. The most popular train link is between the UK and France via the Channel Tunnel, on the Eurostar line. Another is between Belgium and France on the Thalys line.
