The Paris exit compass

Every destination has its own way out of Paris. Pick the right one at the right time and you can often save three quarters of an hour before you even reach the motorway.

N E S W A1 A4 A6 A10 A13 Paris
  • A1

    Porte de la Chapelle

    Towards Roissy, Lille, Brussels and Amsterdam. Jammed inbound in the morning, but much smoother heading out.

  • A4

    Porte de Bercy

    Towards Reims, Metz, Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Frankfurt. The shared A4-A86 stretch is the tricky part at rush hour.

  • A6

    Porte d’Italie

    The Autoroute du Soleil towards Lyon, Geneva, Marseille and Milan. Best avoided on Fridays after 3pm during the holidays.

  • A10

    Porte d’Orléans

    Via the A6a, then the A10 towards Orléans, Tours and Bordeaux. On summer weekends, leaving before 7am makes all the difference.

  • A13

    Porte de Saint-Cloud

    Towards Rouen, Deauville and Normandy. The Saint-Cloud tunnel is the Friday-evening bottleneck.

Getting out of Paris the smart way

Every major destination has its own way out: Porte de la Chapelle and the A1 for Lille, Brussels and Amsterdam; Porte de Bercy and the A4 for Reims, Metz, Strasbourg and Luxembourg; Porte d’Italie and the A6 for Lyon, Geneva and Marseille; Porte d’Orléans for the A10 and Bordeaux; Porte de Saint-Cloud and the A13 for Normandy.

At rush hour, the Paris ring road (the Périphérique) and the A86 can add three quarters of an hour to any trip. We recommend leaving before 7am or between 9.30am and 3pm on weekdays, and we avoid heading south or west on Friday after 3pm whenever possible.

We pick you up anywhere in Paris and the Île-de-France region: home, office, hotel, or straight off a train at Gare de Lyon, Gare du Nord, Gare de l’Est, Montparnasse, Saint-Lazare or Austerlitz. At a station, the driver waits for you at the head of the platform or at the agreed meeting point.

On arrival, the driver loads the luggage, fits child seats if needed and lets you settle in. From then on, you have nothing left to manage until you reach your destination.

The stations and districts we serve most

Gare de Lyon and Gare de Bercy

Ideal for carrying on to the south-east: you step off a train, the driver is waiting and the A6 is ten minutes away. We are often booked here after missed connections or cancelled trains.

Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est

The natural starting point for Lille, Brussels, Reims or Metz. Also handy when a Eurostar is cancelled and you absolutely must be in Brussels or Amsterdam that evening.

Business districts and hotels

La Défense, the Golden Triangle, Saint-Germain, Opéra: we pick you up at hotel reception or outside your office, with an invoice in your company’s name.

Suburbs and new towns

Versailles, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Marne-la-Vallée, Cergy, Évry: leaving straight from the suburbs often avoids crossing Paris and shortens the journey.

Frequently asked questions

Do you pick up in the suburbs? +

Yes, anywhere in the Île-de-France region. The estimate is simply recalculated from your exact address.

What is the best time to leave Paris? +

On weekdays, before 7am or between 9.30am and 3pm. Friday afternoons and the day before school holidays are best avoided when heading south or west.

Can the driver meet me off a train? +

Can we make a stop along the way? +

Yes, a stop (dropping off a passenger, collecting keys, having lunch) is possible if it is mentioned in your request. It may change the mileage and therefore the price.
