From the arrivals hall, look for clear airport signage marked ‘Gare’ or ‘Train station’ to guide you to the railway stations.
You’ll also find taxi stands and bus stops just outside the terminals. In addition to regular city and regional buses, special services—like hotel shuttles—depart from Terminals 2B–2D or Roissypole, near Terminal 3.
Train and bus tickets can be purchased in advance (recommended) through the Île-de-France Mobilités app.

For travel between CDG Airport and central Paris, take the RER B commuter train. It runs approximately every 10 minutes and serves other key destinations across the region, such as Parc des Expositions, Le Bourget, Stade de France, and more.
Traveling by bus
Local and regional services provide connections to destinations such as Paris (via Roissybus), surrounding suburbs, Disneyland Paris, and Parc Astérix.
Long-distance coaches also operate from the Roissypole bus station, linking the airport with major cities across France and beyond.
Traveling by taxi

Going to Paris by public transport ?
By train
Hop on the RER Line B for a fast and affordable ride to the city. The journey takes 35-40 minutes between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris-Gare du Nord or Châtelet–Les Halles, where you can connect to several other metro lines.
By bus
Roissybus shuttle is recommended. It offers a direct connection between all three terminals at Charles de Gaulle Airport and the Opéra district, right in the heart of the city, in about 60 minutes.
The cheapest option, Bus 350 or 351, can take you to the outskirts of Paris for the price of a standard Bus-Tram ticket. However, these local buses make numerous stops, have longer journey times, and do not offer dedicated luggage space.
