Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Long-distance transfers from CDG Airport

Roissy sits right on the A1: for Lille, Brussels or Amsterdam, leaving straight from the airport means you skip Paris altogether. Your driver is waiting at arrivals, whatever time your flight lands.

Unique to this route

Charles de Gaulle, terminal by terminal

Roissy is a huge airport. Knowing exactly where your driver is waiting saves you twenty minutes of wandering around with your luggage after the flight.

T1

Terminal 1

The original circular terminal, used by many international airlines. We meet you on the arrivals level.

T2

Terminal 2 (2A to 2G)

Air France and its partners. Each hall has its own letter: we give you the exact meeting point for your flight. 2G is reached by shuttle bus.

T3

Terminal 3

Charter flights and low-cost airlines. It is linked to the other terminals by CDGVAL, the free automated shuttle train.

TGV

CDG Airport Terminal 2 station

Right in the heart of Terminal 2. Handy if you prefer the train, but with several suitcases the car spares you the platforms and the changes.

⇄

Non-Schengen flights

Passport control can take a while. Your driver allows for it, so there is no need to let them know if the queue is long.

☾

Overnight arrivals

Long-haul flights often land early in the morning. The roads heading north are clear at that hour, and you can sleep on board.

Why leave straight from Roissy

Charles de Gaulle lies north-east of Paris, at the start of the A1. For northern France, Belgium or the Netherlands, that is a huge advantage: you skip the drive across Paris, often 45 minutes, and get straight onto the motorway.

Heading south to Lyon or Geneva, the Francilienne orbital (N104) links up with the A5 and then the A6, bypassing the capital. It is the route we take for travellers who land from a long-haul flight and want to sleep in the Alps or in Lyon that same night.

Your driver tracks your flight in real time. If the plane is an hour late, they know before you do. They wait for you in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board, help with your luggage and walk you to the vehicle parked nearby.

After an overnight flight, we suggest having some water and something warm to hand, and getting some sleep: the seats are comfortable, the driving is smooth, and the first break is whenever you want it.

Your arrival at Charles de Gaulle, step by step

Terminal 1, 2 or 3

Give us your flight number: we work out the terminal (1, 2A to 2G or 3) and the nearest meeting point. At Terminal 2, we meet you in the arrivals hall of your hall letter.

Flight tracking and waiting

The driver adjusts the pickup time to your actual landing and allows time for passport control and baggage reclaim, which takes longer on non-Schengen flights.

Luggage and pushchairs

Several large suitcases, ski gear, a pushchair or a baby seat? Let us know: we send a van if a saloon is not big enough.

To the Roissy TGV station

If you would rather finish by train but have lots of luggage, we can also drop you at a station that suits your destination better. We will give you honest advice on the simplest option.
