⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use the official taxi rank; ignore touts inside terminals offering rides, they may not be licensed Paris taxis and may overcharge.
  • The Paris taxi fare from CDG to the Latin Quarter is a fixed €65 (Rive Gauche); if a driver offers a meter or adds luggage fees, confirm the flat fare before leaving.
  • Buy RER B tickets only from official RATP/IDFM machines or desks; helpers may offer to buy your ticket for a tip.
  • Do not board unmarked cars or VTC drivers soliciting inside the terminal; Uber/Bolt must be pre-booked via app and are not covered by the flat taxi fare.
