From CDG to Paris: the options in 2026
Four ways take you from the airport into the city: the RER B train, a bus, a taxi or a pre-booked car with driver. The Roissybus to Opéra no longer runs. It ended on 1 March 2026, and an express bus from Saint-Denis-Pleyel replaced it. The CDG Express train is announced for 28 March 2027, so it is not an option on a trip in 2026.
For most travellers the RER B is the cheapest and most predictable choice. A taxi has a fixed fare and suits groups or heavy luggage. If you have a long layover, you can also turn the transfer into a city trip with a guided tour.
Our picks: private transfers into Paris
If your landing time is uncertain, the transfer with 90 minutes of waiting from touchdown leaves the most room. Take the meet-and-greet option if you want someone at arrivals and help with bags; the third works from Orly as well.

The station Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV serves the Terminal 2 group. The station Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 sits at Roissypôle, next to Terminal 3. For Terminal 1, change there to the free CDGVAL shuttle. See the terminals guide for the walking and shuttle routes.

The Roissybus has ended: bus options now
What replaced the direct bus to Opéra.
Express bus 9517
The new express bus connects Roissypôle with Saint-Denis-Pleyel in about 30 minutes, from 5:20 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. A bus and tram ticket at €2.05 is accepted. From Pleyel you continue by metro, which you pay for separately.
Buses 350 and 351
Line 350 leaves from Porte de la Chapelle and line 351 from Nation. Both take longer than the train, and the right stop depends on where you sleep. They suit you if your hotel is near one of those two stations.
Night buses N140 and N143
The Noctilien lines run from about 12:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. The N140 runs hourly and the N143 every 30 minutes. A bus and tram ticket is valid for 1 hour 30 minutes with permitted changes. The airport rail ticket is not valid on these buses.
Taxi and car with driver from CDG
A taxi from CDG to Paris costs a fixed €56 to the right bank and €65 to the left bank in 2026, in both directions. The fare covers the direct trip. A surcharge of €4 applies if you order on the spot and €7 if you book ahead. From the fifth passenger, a further €5.50 is added.
Look for the roof light, the meter and the licence number on the right front wing. The fixed fares do not apply to Disneyland or to hotels in nearby villages. A car with driver (VTC) must be booked in advance, and its price is set by the provider, either as a fixed price or by time and distance.
