How to get from CDG to Paris in 2026: every option compared
How to get from CDG to Paris when you land at Roissy? RER B, bus, flat-rate taxi, ride-hailing app or private chauffeur: here are the prices, journey times and limits of each option, so you can choose with full knowledge of the facts.
In November 2026, the RER B is the fast, inexpensive option: €14 per person and about 25 to 35 minutes to the city centre. Taxis charge a flat rate of €56 to the Right Bank or €65 to the Left Bank, per vehicle. A pre-booked private chauffeur waits for you in the arrivals hall, at a fixed price known in advance.
How do you get from Roissy-CDG airport to Paris?
Charles de Gaulle Airport is about 33 km from central Paris (ViaMichelin, November 2026). You have six options: the RER B, daytime buses, night buses, a flat-rate taxi, a ride-hailing app or a pre-booked private chauffeur. The right choice depends on your arrival time, your luggage, the number of travellers and your address. The public transport and taxi prices quoted here are those in force in November 2026; they may change.
Should you take the RER B from Roissy to Paris?
The RER B links the airport to Gare du Nord, Châtelet-Les Halles and then Denfert-Rochereau. According to Île-de-France Mobilités, a train runs every 6 to 15 minutes and the journey to the city centre takes about 25 to 35 minutes depending on the terminal; departures from the airport to Paris run from 4:50 to 23:50. You need a Paris Region ↔ Airports ticket, priced at €14 per person since 1 January 2026.
Its drawbacks: crowds at rush hour, stairs with your suitcases, a change often needed and engineering works on some evenings or weekends. Check the traffic information before you set off.
Which daytime buses go to Paris?
The Roissybus, which linked the airport to Opéra, has not run since 1 March 2026. Two regular routes remain: the 350 to Porte de la Chapelle, in 60 to 80 minutes, and the 351 to Nation, in 70 to 90 minutes, with a bus every 15 to 35 minutes depending on the route. The fare is €2.05 with a bus-tram ticket or €2.55 with a ticket bought by text message. It is the cheapest option, but also the slowest, and the last departures to Paris leave in the evening.
Night buses from Roissy: the Noctilien routes
Between 0:30 and 5:30, Noctilien routes N140 and N143 link the airport to Gare de l'Est in about an hour. The N143 runs every 30 minutes, the N140 every hour. They are a fallback after the last RER, but waiting at night with luggage is not comfortable.
How much is the CDG – Paris taxi flat rate?
Paris taxis charge a regulated flat rate for a direct journey between the airport and Paris, in both directions, day and night: €56 to the Right Bank and €65 to the Left Bank in 2026. No surcharge is added; only a €5.50 supplement applies from the fifth passenger. The price is per vehicle, not per passenger. Only take a taxi from the official rank and decline any transport offers made in the arrivals hall.
Ride-hailing app or pre-booked private chauffeur: what is the difference?
A ride-hailing app shows a price before you order, but it varies with the time and demand, and the pick-up point is often outside the arrivals hall. You only find out the vehicle and the driver at the last minute.
A private chauffeur booked in advance works differently: the price is fixed when you book and the chauffeur waits for you in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name. At Aura Chauffeur, the CDG – Paris transfer costs €119 by sedan, €149 by van and €219 by prestige sedan, per vehicle and including VAT, with no night or weekend surcharge. Your flight is tracked and 60 minutes of waiting time are included. It costs more than a taxi; the value lies elsewhere: a welcome at the terminal, a vehicle suited to your luggage and a price known before you leave. The name-board welcome is included; the more comprehensive Meet & Greet is available on quotation. The differences in status are explained in our guide private driver vs taxi in Paris.

Which option suits your profile?
- Solo traveller with light luggage: the RER B, fast and inexpensive, especially if your hotel is close to the line.
- Family: for four people, the flat-rate taxi to the Right Bank costs the same as four RER tickets, with no change and no stairs; for more than four, book a van with chauffeur.
- Business trip: a pre-booked chauffeur lets you work during the journey, at a price known in advance. See our business travel service.
- Late-night arrival: after the last RER, you are left with the night buses, a taxi or a pre-booked chauffeur, who tracks your flight if it is delayed.
- Large suitcases: for a CDG to Paris journey with lots of luggage, avoid public transport. A 7-seat van offers plenty of luggage space; see our fleet.
