Complete guide to getting from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Paris city center by RER B train, Roissybus, and taxi.
Need to transfer between CDG and Orly airports? A single Paris Airport Train Ticket covers the entire journey.
💡 The Paris Airport Train Ticket (€14.00) now includes the Orlyval shuttle—no additional fee!
No. Navigo Day Pass (Navigo Jour) no longer covers CDG airport. You need a separate Paris Airport Train Ticket (€14.00), or use Navigo Week/Month Pass which still includes CDG.
The first RER B train departs CDG Terminal 2 at 4:50 AM, arriving Gare du Nord at 5:26 AM. The last train leaves at 11:50 PM, arriving Gare du Nord at 12:26 AM. Same schedule every day including holidays.
RER B runs until about midnight. After that, use Noctilien night buses (N140 or N143 to Gare de l'Est) or take a taxi. Roissybus runs until 00:30.
RER B is faster (€14.00, 35 min) and best for central/north Paris (Gare du Nord, Châtelet). Roissybus (€14.00, 60+ min) has more luggage space and drops you at Opéra—better if you prefer not navigating stairs with bags.
Generally yes, but be aware of pickpockets, especially on crowded trains. Keep your bags close, avoid rush hours (7-9am, 5-7pm), and stay alert. Consider Roissybus or taxi if you have multiple large bags.
