When you arrive at CDG, go through passport control and then your phone displays a meeting invitation for a building on the Esplanade in three hours—then it strikes most business travellers that La Défense isn't 'Paris' as the airport transfer signs imply; it is located on the western edge and there is no direct route to it.

Charles de Gaulle Airport to Fontainebleau: Every Transfer Option Compared (2026 Guide)

When you arrive at CDG, go through customs and then get out a map — only to find that Fontainebleau isn't on the same side of Paris at all.

You have just arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport, are now pushing your suitcase through the crowd at Terminal 2E arrivals, and north of Paris there is a chateau, a forest and a racecourse in store for you.

Charles de Gaulle to Le Marais: Every Transfer Option Compared (2026 Guide)

When you arrive at CDG, go through customs and then face your first real choice as soon as you've even had a cup of coffee: how are you getting to Le Marais?

When you arrive at CDG, go through the passport control queue, and the first thing you notice on your phone is that Boulogne-Billancourt isn't really 'Paris' as Google Maps suggests. It is in fact a separate commune, situated in the bend of the Seine to the southwest of the city, and to get there from the airport you have to cross the full width of the capital first. The road distance is about...

Best Ways to Get from Charles de Gaulle to Gare d'Austerlitz: Every Transfer Option Compared (2026 Guide)
