⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore anyone who approaches you inside the terminal offering a taxi or transfer; use only the official taxi rank or a pre-booked private transfer.
  • Official Paris taxis must use the fixed €56 Right Bank fare to Montmartre, day or night; never accept a meter or a 'special' airport price.
  • Buy airport RER B tickets only from ticket machines or official ticket desks; a normal €2.55 metro ticket is not valid to CDG and ticket touts may sell used or fake Navigo cards.
  • Keep an eye on bags and wallets on RER B, Métro and night buses; do not let strangers 'help' you at ticket machines.
