Timetable

Ticket and fare

To travel between Charles de Gaulle Airport and any location in the Paris Region, you’ll need a Paris Region-Airports Ticket (€14).

This ticket is available only in digital format. No paper ticket. You have two options to load it:

► On your smartphone, via the Île-de-France Mobilités app.

► On a Navigo Easy card, using the ticket machines in stations. Don’t have a Navigo Easy card? You can buy one already loaded with the Paris Region–Airports Ticket.

To avoid queues, we recommend purchasing your ticket in advance using the Île-de-France Mobilités app.

Please note: The Paris Visite travel pass can be used for airport trips. The standard Métro–Train–RER ticket is not valid for airport journeys. Using it may result in a fine.

Where to catch train

The RER B serves two stations at the airport: one for Terminals 1 and 3 (Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1) and another for Terminal 2 (Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2). To avoid delays or confusion, make sure to check your terminal information before heading to the station.

All RER B trains serve central Paris, with Gare du Nord as the first stop in the city. Other key stations along the route include Parc des Expositions, Le Bourget, La Plaine-Stade de France, Châtelet-Les Halles, and Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame, among others.
