Getting From Paris Airports Into the City
Paris has two main airports, Charles de Gaulle to the north and Orly to the south. Both are well connected, just in different ways.
Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the main international hub, with several terminals spread over a large area. Orly handles many European and domestic flights.
From Charles de Gaulle
The RER B train runs from CDG to central Paris stations. It's direct, but can be busy and the trains are not designed for heavy luggage. Buses also connect to central points. Taxis use fixed fares to the city, depending on which bank of the Seine you're going to.
From Orly
Orly is linked to the city by tram, bus, and the Orlyval shuttle connecting to RER B. The metro line extensions planned in the region are changing options, so check the transport operator for current routes.
Moving between terminals at CDG
CDG terminals are linked by the free CDGVAL shuttle train. Allow time, as distances are significant.
