The RER B, the most direct option

The RER B links the airport to the heart of Paris, stopping at Gare du Nord, Châtelet-Les Halles, Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, Luxembourg and Denfert-Rochereau, among others. Depending on your hotel, you either get off at the right station or change to the metro.

Arriving late or with children

Rail links from the airports stop running around midnight. After that, you can take the Noctilien night buses or a fixed-fare taxi, whose price does not change at night. Remember to let the hotel know your arrival time: most of our hotels have a 24-hour reception, and our digital guest journey lets you get your room without waiting.

For families, children under 4 travel free on Île-de-France public transport if they do not take up a seat, and a reduced fare is available for older children. With several suitcases and a pushchair, a fixed-fare taxi often becomes competitive from three or four travellers. To choose the right room, see our guide to family rooms in Paris.

Arriving before 3 pm? Our hotels store your luggage free of charge until your room is ready, and after check-out until it's time for your flight.
