CDG or Orly Airport: How to Get to Your Hotel in Paris

From Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, the easiest way to get to Paris is by taking the RER B, which goes directly to Gare du Nord, Châtelet-Les Halles, and the Latin Quarter in about 40 minutes. From Orly, Metro Line 14 takes you to downtown Paris without changing trains in less than 40 minutes. In both cases, you’ll need a special ticket costing €14. Taxis, on the other hand, charge a flat rate depending on which side of the river your hotel is on.

From Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle

The RER B, the most direct route

The RER B line connects the airport to the heart of Paris and stops at Gare du Nord, Châtelet-Les Halles, Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, Luxembourg, and Denfert-Rochereau, among other stations. Depending on your hotel, you can either get off directly at the right station or transfer to the metro.

Le trajet nécessite le ticket Paris Région <> Aéroports, à 14 € plein tarif et 7 € en tarif réduit. Il est valable dans le RER et le métro pour rejoindre votre destination finale. Il se charge sur un passe Navigo Easy ou sur smartphone : le ticket de métro classique n'est pas accepté pour les aéroports.

Arriving late or with children

Train service from the airports stops around midnight. After that, your options are the Noctilien night buses or a flat-rate taxi, which doesn’t charge extra at night. Be sure to let your hotel know your arrival time: most of our properties have a 24-hour front desk, and our digital guest experience allows you to check in without waiting.

For families, children under 4 travel for free on public transportation in the Île-de-France region if they do not occupy a seat, and a reduced fare is available for older children. If you have several suitcases and a stroller, a flat-rate taxi fare often becomes a competitive option for groups of three or four passengers. To choose the right room, check out our guide to family rooms in Paris.

Arriving before 3:00 p.m.? Our hotels will store your luggage free of charge while you wait for your room to be ready, and after you check out until your flight time.
