There are 3 airports in Paris in which you could have landed. If you have landed at the Charles De Gaulle airport, which is one of the international hubs and has flights that can reach you almost anywhere, there are various ways to commute to the city. It is approximately 27kms North of Paris. From the airport you could either take the shuttle trains, public buses, taxis or private shuttles. The shuttle trains run between the T1 and T9 of Charles De Gaulle Airport to the station. You need to take the RER Line B going towards “St-Remy-les-Chevreuses/Massy”
If we are at the Aeroport d’Orly which is 16 kms South of Central Paris, you could chose traveling via the RER or the shuttle bus. To commute via the RER, take the line C , the “GOTA or NORA” trains, which will take you to Paris. A shuttle bus could also be a wise option which has a frequency of 7 minutes leaving either Antony / Orly Sud. The timings for Monday – Saturday are 06.00 am to 10.30 pm and Sundays 07.00 am – 11.00 pm.
There is a smaller airport called Beauvais. This airport handles charter flights and Ryan air.
METRO
The best public transport for Paris is the underground Metropolitan and the RER. It is an amazing network and you will find metro stations at most of the different places that you wish to go to. You could buy daily, weekly or monthly travel passes depending on the frequency of your travel, however a weekly or a monthly pass (Carte Orange Passes) would be a better bargain. Many of the sight seeing places are at a walking distance and walking around would also be a good option enjoying the view along the way. Cycling is another option, though it wouldn’t be advisable to cycle, as the city is not very bike friendly. Bikes are not allowed in the metros.
BUS
There is a public bus system, which is not a very advisable option as the frequency is not worth a wait. There are river shuttles that ply the seine however they take very long routes and thus take a very long time so if your intention is to spend a leisure time, having a good ride, we would suggest you to get aboard these river shuttles. This will also be a good sight seeing experience.
TAXI
The Parisian Taxi’s help more than 5, 00,000 travelers to commute everyday. Be it from the airport or within the city. They have a neon sign on the roof of the taxi indicating “TAXI PARISIEN” and a taximeter displaying the fare. The fare would include a flag fall of 2.00 € and the meter charges The meter charges would depend on the length of your travel, the time of the day, the area and waiting time / Luggage charges if any.
