How do I get from Charles de Gaulle airport to central Paris?
Take the RER B if you are traveling light and staying near one of its central stops; take an official taxi for the simplest door-to-door journey. A private transfer is best when you want a named driver, child seats, extra luggage help or a coordinated arrival. Allow roughly 45–75 minutes by road, longer in peak traffic.
RER, taxi or private driver?
The RER B is normally the fastest budget option, but it involves station navigation and may not be pleasant after an overnight flight with bags. Official taxis leave from signed ranks and use regulated airport fares to Paris. Ignore anyone approaching you inside arrivals.
A pre-arranged private transfer adds meet-and-greet certainty. Chic Trip quotes CDG–Paris at a clear €90 package price and coordinates the arrival as part of a fully planned Paris trip.
What we recommend
Solo and light: RER B. Two adults with normal luggage: official taxi. Family, mobility need, special luggage or zero-friction arrival: private transfer. Check live rail works on your travel date before committing.

Should I prebook a CDG taxi?
Not for a standard official taxi; use the signed rank. Prebook only when you specifically want a private meet-and-greet transfer.
