Samantha's tips

  1. At Paris Gare du Nord

    Gare du Nord is one of the busiest stations in Europe, and the area around it is crowded at all hours. For the Eurostar to London, check-in and passport control come before boarding: check the latest arrival time on your ticket, and allow extra time at busy periods. The RER B to CDG leaves from the underground platforms, a long walk with luggage from the main-line and Eurostar halls. At night, the Noctilien N143 night bus to CDG stops at Gare du Nord. Keep your bags close: pickpockets work in crowded stations.

  2. At Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)

    CDG has three terminals, and Terminal 2 is split into seven halls, 2A to 2G. Check your terminal and hall before you land or leave, and send them to us with your flight number. The RER B stops at two airport stations: Aéroport CDG 1 for Terminals 1 and 3, and Aéroport CDG 2 TGV for Terminal 2, where the TGV trains to Disneyland and the rest of France also stop. The RER B needs the Paris Region Airports ticket, €14 in 2026: a standard metro ticket is not valid to or from the airport. The RoissyBus stopped running at the end of February 2026. Buses 350 and 351 and the express bus 9517 now link the airport with Paris, with a €2.05 Bus-Tram ticket. After the last RER B, around midnight, the Noctilien N140 and N143 night buses run to Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est. Taking a taxi? Use the official taxi ranks outside the terminals, never a driver who approaches you in the hall.

  3. On this journey

    Arriving by Eurostar or train with a flight to catch, you do not want to carry your luggage down to the RER B platforms, then through the terminal. The RER B also stops around midnight: after that, only the night bus or a taxi is left. Your driver meets you at your platform with a name sign, follows your train if it runs late, and drives you straight to the departures door of your CDG terminal.

Our verdict

With light luggage and an afternoon flight, the RER B from Gare du Nord is quick and costs €14. Arriving by Eurostar with suitcases, children or a tight connection, a private driver is the calmer choice: your Samantha Travels driver meets you at your platform and takes you straight to your terminal, for €110 for the whole car, agreed in advance.
