Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is about 25 km north-east of Paris. The Roissybus is the most direct bus link to the center: it reaches the Opéra district, where the metro, department stores and many hotels are within walking distance. Allow about one hour, more at rush hour.

Roissybus, RER B or transfer: which one?
- Roissybus: one journey, no change, room for suitcases. It shares the road, so journey time varies with the hour.
- RER B: the train connects CDG with Gare du Nord and Châtelet-Les Halles, with metro connections. Often more predictable on time, but tiring with heavy luggage or at peak hours.
- Private transfer: a driver meets you and drops you at your hotel. Simplest for groups, children or a late arrival, and the per-person price becomes reasonable when you share.
For first and last departures, frequency and fares, check the operator’s site: we do not list them, to avoid out-of-date information.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Roissybus stop in Paris?
It serves the Opéra district in central Paris. Check the exact stop and timetable on the operator's site.

A private transfer avoids connections and fixed timetables. Book ahead and give your flight number.
