Airport buses

Air France Bus

Buses of Les Cars Air France connect Terminals 1 and 2 with destinations on the Right and Left Bank:

Line 2 goes to the Place Charles de Gaulle (Arc de Triomphe) and Porte Maillot (in the La Defense skyscraper district). Buses normally run every 15 minutes from 5:45 a.m. to 11 p.m. The fare is €15 one-way or €24 roundtrip, with children 2-11 paying €7,50 each way. Trip time: 35-60 minutes, depending on traffic.

Line 4 serves the Gare de Lyon and the Gare Montparnasse. Coaches normally depart every 30 minutes from 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and the fare is €16 one-way or €27 roundtrip (€8 each way for children). Trip time: 45-60 minutes, depending on traffic.

Air France also has a Line 3 bus that runs between Charles de Gaulle and Orly Airports. Fare is €19 each way for adults and €9,50 for children, with no round-trip discount.

Your luggage will be stored for you during the trip. Buy your ticket at the Cars Air France counter in the terminal or pay the driver as you board.

RoissyBus

RATP, the Paris regional transport authority, operates this coach between CDG Terminals 1, 2, and 3 and the rue Scribe by the American Express office and the Opéra Garnier. (Take the RoissyBus if you're staying at one of the many hotels in the Opéra district.)

Buses run every 15 minutes from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and every 20 minutes from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. The one-way fare is €8,60. Travel time is nominally 45 minutes but can take up to twice that long during rush hour. Wave down the bus at the terminal (see the airport's Buses page) and pay the driver upon boarding.

Also, the 1- to 5-zone Paris Visite card is valid on Roissybus.

Note: Fares on this page were valid in February, 2009, when this article was last updated.
