- Never accept rides from drivers who approach you inside the terminal; official taxis wait only at the marked taxi ranks outside Arrivals.
- Official Paris taxis have a lit 'TAXI PARISIEN' roof sign and must charge the fixed €56 fare to Le Marais; if a driver refuses the flat fare, use another taxi.
- Ignore 'fast-track' ticket sellers at the airport; buy RER B / bus tickets only from official machines, the IDFM app, or the station desk.
- Watch your belongings on RER B and métro, especially around Châtelet–Les Halles; pickpockets target tourists with luggage.
