We have a friend who is very well traveled in Paris and he recommended we stay away from the RER as it is riddled with pickpockets. Instead he suggested the Roissy bus and that worked like a charm! It was easy to find, wasn't crowded, and had space to put our luggage. Dropped us off at the Opera House and from there we caught the metro to our hotel 👌
Thank you for sharing.
Personally, I find that belt bags with the zipper facing your body are more than enough to keep your valuables safe when traveling in Europe :)
Our RER-B experience was flawless. I love the convenience and affordability of public transportation
Thanks Mark. My trip to Paris will
Be so much better with your tips😊
We took the train from CDG to Gare Du Nord. I mention this only to let you know, you MUST hold onto your ticket to get into the station. You had to insert the ticket into a machine to get through the gates and there were security people watching. I thought I had lost mine, but they were friendly and patient while I frantically dug through my pockets. :~D
Are you referring to the plain ticket?
Where you have big problems is the return trip to CDG
You can very easily think your connecting Metro ticket is good to CDG
It's not you need to buy another ticked at Gare du zNord for the RER B
I always see passengers stuck and can't get out from the rail terminal at CDG
@@Delacruz916 No. You must purchase a ticket for the train at one of the kiosks in CDG in order to get to Gare Du Nord. I think it was 10 Euros.
@ExpertCoder14 😂 here’s this guy again correcting people about things they didn’t say. He’s just so smart about Paris 😂 How would we ever manage traveling without him 😂
I found the train to be super clean and easy to get around! Coming from Chicago we’re used to good public transportation and the caveats that come with it, but if you’re used to a big city I think the trains in Paris were excellent
I literally arrive in Paris this Saturday! This was so helpful
Thanks Mark! Just when I needed it!
Spot On mark👍👍 Harriet and Jim
We love your videos! Thank you for this one.
This is the second video about transportation between CDG and Paris that I’ve watched recently (Les Frenchies) that has omitted the Roissy Bus. That’s different than the RATP routes that Mark refers to. Roissy Bus is fantastic if one happens to be staying near Opéra. Depending upon the time of day, Roissy Bus is actually quite fast to and from CDG.
@ExpertCoder14 that is correct, but you know the distinction I was making. But thanks for playing and letting everyone know how smart you are 😂
Always, always take the express RER B into Paris, never the local. By avoiding the local train with all the stops, you also avoid the crowds and the people you might not want to ride with. The RER from CDG into Paris goes through a less than nice part of Paris. Study the schedule and wait for the express train if you can.
The “fast trains “ save about 5-7 minutes, but the time spent waiting for one is time you could be on the “local” train headed for Paris. If you want to use a “fast train”, then note the display on the first car which will show a 4-letter route or “mission.” If the mission begins with a K, then it’s a fast train that will likely stop at CDG 1 (the other station at the airport), and possibly Parc des Expositions, before proceeding directly to Gare du Nord.
Yeah, there are some pretty Shi**y places along that ride, done that local stops train ONCE.
Just got back from Paris on a group tour so my experience was different. Took the Eurostar from London to Gare du Nord and bussed into the city. I did take the train and ubers in Paris as well. Take a River tour at sunset if you plan on being there in the next month! was really cool
This was actually the video I needed as I'm going very soon. Good timing haha
id love to see more videos like this for other cities
Thanks woltah ! From the UK ✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Our recent experience taking the RER to CDG was not great. The trains were super crowded and it seemed to take much longer than 30m (I didn't time it!). It was also a little complicated to find where to catch the correct train (at least in the station where we were). But taxi drivers didn't want to drive us! We did make it, but just a note!
Did you pay for the taxi at CDG or did you just call for one outside?
I’ll probably never be able to go to Paris, but here I am
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Awesome video and great tips
I think it's important to note that you should NEVER take a taxi from someone who comes up to you in the airport - it's a scam! Take one from the taxi stand *only* (and it's a flat fee to Paris, 53€ to the right bank and 58€ to the left bank).
Take official taxi it has flat fee of 53 to 58 Euro depending on which side of Paris. It is nice and comfortable and drop you where you want! On your way back you can opt for Uber and save like 5 euros. Simple
What is the name of official taxi?
@@peterromanov7300 Just follow the signs to Taxi locations, ignore hustlers that walk around and ask you if you need taxi once you get to a taxi station you see taxis lined up and a person that will assigns you one very easy.
Cash only? Or do they take credit?
@@LisaSoulLevelHealing I paid cash i don’t know if you can used credit card or not. I always take some cash when I travel.
Perfect timing, heading that way next month!
Have fun!
My travel mate scheduled for us to take a bus from CDG to near the Bastille region. We sat in the back in separate seats. At the very last minute, a man came and sat down right next to me and "man spread" his legs apart. I was disgusted.
I immediately told him, "Pardonne-moi", "pardonne-moi". "Sortie. Sortie", and I moved to another seat. It wasn't like all the other seats were taken either. I was kind of proud that I was able to use French though.
I told my travel mate I wanted to take a cab back to CDG when it was time to return.
Thanks
We took the trains to Le Mans. Our hotel overlooked the train platform and If I never hear that 3 tone chime again I will be just dandy. LOL Love your channel in Central Illinois.
Thank you
We have a 7 hour layover. I was looking forward to seeing at least one site in that time...does anyone know if we will need a Visa? Or is our passport ok?
I don't believe you need a visa.
Where can we leave our luggages at CDG? Is there a storage rental available to hold our luggages. Because we have a 15 hr layover in Paris and want to go around.
Nice guide. What would you suggest in our case. We are arriving August next year. Sometime between early morning and 2pm. It's two of us. One will probably use a wheelchair, and will carry a suitcase with wheels and a carry-on bag. We secured an Airbnb apartment near place de la Republique, so no private driver. I've been thinking about getting an uber since the person using the wheelchair is able to get up and sit in a car and the wheelchair be folded up in the trunk. I also heard that buses are wheelchair friendly, but I don't know if it would be too much of a hassle with the suitcase and the amount of people expected during the Olympics.
I only have a 4.5 hour layover. I’d love to see the Eiffel Tower in that time. Would my best option be a taxi? Uber? What would the cost be?
Thanks for the information,
I have a 7 hr layover in mid December on a Saturday afternoon.
Do you think I can get an Uber to go to Eiffel Tower and come back on time. I’m not familiar with trains coming from California.
Hello, any recommendations for private transportation from airport to hotel? I have a three yr old and would like to find someone who offers car seats
Scariest car ride of my life, the taxi driver was crazy!
You should have taken the train!
oh... i have had taxis like that before in paris :)
Beautiful🥰👍
I had issues getting Uber or Bolt early in the morning in Paris. It does take time for a driver to pickup the ride. So if you are in the rush to make the connection at the CDG, take that into consideration
CDG is so well connected. I quickly learned that flying to that Ryanair airport in middle of no where (Beauvais) is NOT WORTH IT. CDG is much better, can’t comment on Orly
How do you tell the difference between a legit taxi vs a fake one?
Where exactly do the private cars pick you up? We have reserved this with our hotel but not 100% on where to go after we exit passport check.
I’ve used a private driver this time it will be a taxi since we are going to 3 different cities and those costs add up quickly for transport. Is it better to just get a taxi from the stand or use the G7 app to order one?
Louvre : super🤩
Oh yes you were correct about changing train Brussels to a Eurostar in fact it was cancelled! Glad my wife canceled coming over to meet us in london. I owe you and your wife a meal and drinks in Q city or a drink donation
Most videos tell you how to get into Paris from CDG, but not back. Take a taxi, but only if you can pay by card, yes we've been had. This Monday 24 June we went back by train from the Luxemburg, it was RAMMED and I mean RAMMED full, so much they were stopping people getting on at other stations. As for pickpockets I couldn't even get my own hand in my own pocket.
Hire private driver if at all in budget.
Yeah I do this is when I goto NYC as transatlantic flights can come in quite early and one time being half dazed (can’t sleep on planes) I got lost and also nearly left my bag behind etc
Roughly, how much would a private driver be? It sounds worth working into the budget. I’ve thought of taking a solo trip and it sounds like an easier way so I don’t get lost at least on day one lol
@@Amy_V try Blacklane A car service. I think it cost 200 to get picked up at Frankfort airport, luggage carried, out and in hotel in safety etc. well worth the price starting out a trip and ending. Remember I think it was about 45 or more minutes and he was waiting for me with a sign. No bus, no multiple trains etc
@@stephenr115 thanks! $200 is very worth it
Ubber, done.
The real trick is getting to your connection in this nightmare airport
That is a whole other series of videos with lots of not nice words in it 😀
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cdg is th WORSE airport EVER! As I go to Brittany to visit my family, it is best to spend the extra money to fly from Amsterdam into Rennes or Vannes and avoid Paris altogether.
Enough with the Paris business
That’s where many of us are going.
