CDG Airport to Campanile Val de France Transfer (2026)

Q: Is there a direct train from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Campanile Val de France?

No. You take the RER B from CDG into central Paris, change to the eastbound RER A, get off at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, then take a short shuttle or taxi to the hotel in Magny-le-Hongre.

Q: Does the Campanile Val de France have a shuttle service from the train station?

Yes, the hotel operates a free shuttle service between Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station and the hotel as well as the Disney parks, departing about every 10 to 20 minutes depending on the time of day.

Q: Is the Magical Shuttle a good choice for Campanile Val de France?

It can be, but check the schedule carefully. It runs only from around 9 AM to 6:45 PM, and as a partner hotel rather than an on-site Disney hotel, you may need to change buses at the Chessy bus station.

Q: How much does a taxi cost from CDG to Campanile Val de France?

There's no flat fare for this route since it falls outside the central Paris flat-rate zones. Expect a metered fare that varies with traffic, making it the least predictable option price-wise.

Q: Is a private transfer worth it for a family staying at Campanile Val de France?

For most families, yes. The fixed per-vehicle price often comes close to what several individual train tickets would cost once you add the connecting shuttle, and you skip the station changes entirely with luggage and kids in tow.

You have just arrived at Charles de Gaulle after a long journey, the children are wondering when they'll be able to see Mickey, and beyond the terminal doors there lies a trip of more than 90 minutes to Magny-le-Hongre. The distance from Charles de Gaulle Airport to the Campanile Val de France is about 40 kilometres (25 miles), and depending on the traffic conditions, the mode of transport you choose and how much luggage you are carrying, the journey can take anywhere from 40 minutes to well over two hours. This guide is aimed at people who have booked a room at the Campanile Val de France—whether they are families travelling to Disneyland Paris, couples looking for a cheap break or groups trying to decide if it is better to take a taxi, train or a private transfer. Although a pre-booked private transfer removes most of the uncertainty involved, it's still worthwhile understanding the other options first.

Quick Answer: The Best Way from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Campanile Val de France

For the majority of travellers, taking a private transfer is the best way to get to Campanile Val de France since it provides door-to-door service, has a fixed price (€€) and avoids the need to change trains at Châtelet when travelling with suitcases and children. The train (RER B + RER A, €) is the most economical choice for people travelling alone or with only a little luggage. If one is arriving late at night when the public transport has stopped running, a metered taxi (€€€) is the quickest option.

Distance	Fastest option	Cheapest option	Most comfortable
~40 km / 25 miles	Taxi (off-peak)	RER B + RER A train	Private transfer

Understanding the Charles de Gaulle Airport → Campanile Val de France Route

Campanile Val de France is located at 10 Avenue de la Fosse des Pressoirs in Magny-le-Hongre, on the eastern part of the Disneyland Paris resort area, some 40 km east of CDG. The airport is situated north-east of central Paris in Roissy, so the journey does not have to go through the city at all.

Those driving towards the hotel should take the A104 (La Francilienne) eastwards as they leave the airport complex and then join the A4 (Autoroute de l'Est), which goes further east towards Marne-la-Vallée, before switching onto some local roads to reach Magny-le-Hongre. This route involves a lot of motorways and has one clear landmark: the Val d'Europe shopping and business district, which is seen on the right just before the last turn towards the hotel.

There is no direct train service from CDG to this particular hotel. The closest station is Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, which is served by the RER A and also by some TGV services, and from that station you need to take a short shuttle or local train journey to reach the hotel — it is not something where you can just walk up and arrive.

Your Transfer Options, One by One

On this route, the relationship between price and comfort is more significant than on most others — here is an account of how each option actually works out.

Private Transfer

Verdict: this is the option that most families end up booking, and there's a good reason for it.

A private transfer will collect you at the airport terminal, monitors your flight so as to make allowances for any delays, and takes you straight to the reception of the Campanile Val de France — there are no changes of train and no need to carry your suitcases down the escalators. It uses the A104/A4 route mentioned above, and the fare (€€) is given on a per-vehicle basis rather than per person, which has an effect on the cost for a family of four.

Pros: Door-to-door, fixed price agreed in advance, driver waits with a name board at arrivals, room for car seats and full luggage
Cons: Costs more than the train for a solo traveller, subject to the same road traffic as everyone else
Best for: families, groups, late or early flights, anyone who just wants the journey done

Taxi

The verdict is that it is reliable, but you are being charged the metered rates that apply to the Paris region for a trip on the motorway.

Official Paris taxis start from a queue at each terminal and will take you to Magny-le-Hongre by way of the same A104/A4 route that a private transfer would take. Unlike in the case of trips within inner Paris, there is no fixed fare for this route – the meter is based on distance and traffic, which means the cost (€€€) is truly unpredictable, particularly if you leave during rush hour.

Pros: Available 24/7, no pre-booking required, driver knows the roads
Cons: Meter uncertainty on a 40 km run, taxi rank queues at peak arrival times, price isn't fixed until you land
Best for: late-night arrivals when trains have stopped, travellers who prefer not to pre-book anything

Train (RER B + RER A)

The verdict is that it's really good for a single traveller carrying only a backpack but not very good if you have two suitcases and a toddler.

There is no direct service from CDG to the nearest station of this route; you have to take the RER B from the airport to central Paris and then switch to the RER A bound for Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy. The point where the change is made — Châtelet-Les-Halles — is one of the busiest railway connections in Europe and has long underground passages and stairs which are not suitable for rolling suitcases. After arriving at Chessy station, you will need a short further journey by bus, taxi or by the shuttle provided by the hotel in order to get to Magny-le-Hongre.

Pros: By far the cheapest (€) option, trains run frequently through the day
Cons: One unavoidable change at a high-traffic station, no direct luggage assistance, doesn't drop you at the hotel door
Best for: solo travellers, budget-conscious groups without much luggage, anyone comfortable navigating Paris transit

Shared Airport Shuttle (Magical Shuttle)

Decision: Although it is less expensive than a private transfer, make sure that your hotel is actually situated on the route before booking.

A coach shuttle service operated by the authorities runs between CDG and the Disneyland Paris resort area, with a departure from Terminal 1 approximately every 45 minutes from 9:00 AM until about 6:45 PM; the service goes directly to the hotels owned by Disney, but since Campanile Val de France is a partner hotel, it is sometimes necessary to change buses at the Chessy bus station before taking a free local shuttle which completes the journey.

Pros: Cheaper than a private car, no need to navigate the metro
Cons: Limited operating hours rule it out for early or late flights, shared coach means multiple stops before yours, possible transfer at Chessy
Best for: daytime arrivals on a budget, travellers not in a rush

Car Rental

The verdict is that it's only worthwhile if you intend to go on day trips outside Disneyland Paris.

Rental desks can be found at CDG, and the route is easy to follow since signs are provided all the way from A104 to A4. The hotel also provides secure on-site parking together with EV charging points, meaning that parking over night is not a problem.

Pros: Full flexibility once you're there, useful if you're touring beyond the resort
Cons: Motorway tolls, unfamiliar signage under jet lag, parking at Disney's own car parks costs extra if you drive into the resort daily
Best for: longer stays, travellers, combining Disneyland Paris with other Île-de-France destinations

Which of the options is right for you??

For families with small children: the need to change trains at Châtelet when travelling with a stroller and two suitcases is the one regret that first-time visitors mention — this can be avoided by booking a private transfer with a car seat.

For couples on a tight budget, the combination of the RER B and RER A actually does work and saves the most money.

When four or more people are travelling, divide four train tickets between one private transfer and the private car will usually prove cheaper per person, with no need to deal with the station.

For arrivals after late night or before early morning: the Magical Shuttle is not an option since its service times are generally between 9 AM and 6:45 PM, in which case you would have to choose between a taxi and a pre-booked private transfer.

For first-time visitors in Paris, asking them to cope with jet lag and navigate a foreign public transport system on day one is a great deal to expect – altogether eliminating that difficulty a driver available at the arrivals hall does.

For people who have a lot of luggage: if you have more than one suitcase each then the journey by train becomes genuinely unpleasant; in that case it is worth the extra cost to use a private car or taxi.

The Case for Booking a Private Transfer with Top Paris Transfer

If you work out the cost for a family of four, the private transfer ends up being almost the same as the amount you'd pay for four separate train tickets — the only difference being that you pay a single fixed price for the entire carriage, rather than four individual tickets together with the hassle of having to change stations. When you compare this to a metered taxi, whose fare increases for every minute you spend waiting on the A4 during a Friday evening rush, it becomes clear why it's attractive to know your price before you arrive.

Your driver tracks your flight. If your landing at CDG is delayed, you will not arrive to an empty pickup point. They will just wait a bit longer with your name on a board at arrivals. You can ask for child seats in advance. The boot holds a full set of luggage with no problem. The car is ready whenever your flight lands, not on a fixed shuttle schedule.

A recent case was that of a family of five travelling in from Dublin; they arrived at Terminal 2E just after 9 PM, long after the Magical Shuttle's final departure and too late to take the RER with three young children. The driver they had pre-booked was already waiting for them with a sign, and within ten minutes had loaded the family and got them to the Campanile Val de France reception before 10 PM.

When to Travel: Traffic & Timing on This Route

The A104 and A4 are both affected by the morning peak hour (approximately from 7 to 9 AM) and the evening peak hour (between 5 and 7 PM), and a trip which takes 40 minutes outside of peak times can last well over an hour during these periods. The A104 usually has the greatest volume of traffic on Mondays and Fridays because of the overlap between commuter traffic and weekend traffic.

The special feature of this route is the traffic caused by French school holidays: when the Zone C holidays occur, the A4 in the eastbound direction towards Disneyland Paris becomes filled with families who are taking the same route as you are, and congestion on the roads leaving the Val d'Europe area can increase the journey time for a day that is already long.

What This Route Really Costs (Including the Costs Nobody Mentions)

The train is by far the most inexpensive method of travelling over this distance since the fare is charged on a per-person basis, meaning that a single traveller only has to pay a small portion of what a taxi or private car would cost. However, when the situation is considered in terms of a family, four separate train tickets begin to approach the cost per vehicle of a private transfer, particularly when you also take into account the shuttle or short taxi ride required to get from Chessy station to the hotel.

The route has some hidden expenses, such as the last section from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy to Magny-le-Hongre if you're not following the hotel's scheduled shuttle service, any tolls if you're driving yourself, and — in the case of passengers on the shared shuttle — the possibility of having to wait again for a second time should it be necessary to change buses at the Chessy bus station. For an average family of four, when all the different parts of the journey are taken into account, the one-off fixed price for the private transfer is generally the least stressful choice even though it may not be the cheapest on paper.

Mistakes to Avoid on the Charles de Gaulle Airport → Campanile Val de France Journey

If there is a direct train, there isn't; you have to take the RER B into Paris, change to the RER A, and then make the last journey from Chessy station to the hotel.
– To book the Magical Shuttle for a late flight. The shuttle's service times are approximately from 9 AM to 6:45 PM; if your flight is outside that period you'll have to arrange a taxi or private transfer instead.
Not checking the shuttle service status when using the shared coach. Since Campanile Val de France is a partner hotel and not an on-site Disney hotel, it may be necessary to change buses at Chessy — remember to allow for that extra step.
— If you travel during the Zone C school holidays without leaving extra time, the A4 road to Disneyland Paris becomes extremely crowded.
If you have luggage when visiting Châtelet-Les-Halles you'll be disappointed, since it is one of Europe's busiest interchanges and has long corridors, which are suitable enough for a backpack but not for suitcases and children.
– There's no need to take parking at Disney if you're driving in and you make use of the hotel's own secure car park, which has EV charging facilities.
