TRANSIT FLY Review: Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport offers many
excellent transit options that allow most passengers to never even think of using
a car or taking a taxi to access the airport. The Roissybus provides excellent,
direct access to the Paris Opera Metro Station every 15-20 throughout the entire
schedule (€8,60 - 45 minutes). In addition the multiple train stations at CDG
Airport are directly accessible from the Airport Terminal buildings and offer
connections to R้seau Express R้gional Commuter Rail and French TGV
High-Speed Trains. Passengers enjoy the convenience of being able to reach a
majority of destinations all over France with relative ease. This is one of the
reasons the we at Transit Fly hold Paris de Gaulle Airport in such high regard.
