Unique to this route
On paper, the direct TGV from the airport is fast. In the reality of arriving with luggage, here is what the two options look like.
Charles de Gaulle is ideally placed for Belgium: the airport sits right on the A1. Without crossing Paris, we head north, branch off onto the A2 towards Valenciennes and cross the border less than two hours after setting off.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and adjusts their arrival. They wait for you in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board and take care of your luggage.
This transfer is very popular with long-haul travellers who work with the EU institutions, families relocating to Belgium and anyone who would rather not follow an overnight flight with a train connection.
After a long flight, use the trip to sleep: the driving is smooth and the break is whenever you want it. You arrive straight at your hotel, your office or your new home.
An honest comparison
Car with driver
2h 50min
From your front door to your destination address, with no changes and no luggage to carry.
Train, door to door
2h 55min
1h 25min on the train, plus around 1h 30min to get to the station, wait for departure and complete the journey at the other end.
A handful of direct TGVs link the CDG Airport station to Brussels-Midi in about 1h 25min, but the timetable has to fit your landing and you have to carry your luggage to the platform. Door to door, a car with driver draws level and does not depend on when your flight arrives. For a family or a traveller with lots of bags, it is the simplest option.
