Just landed at CDG for the first time today and we opted for a taxi due to our luggage situation. Your video made it super easy and non-threatening, even with all the “fake” Taxi drivers inside the terminal, just as you stated. Went outside to the actual Taxi stand, confirmed the set price and that the driver would take a credit card, and 45 minutes later, we were at our hotel. Many of your videos have made us look forward to seeing your amazing city with much more confidence than we would have otherwise. Many thanks!

Good advice from you saved me some euros. First, just heading towards exit door 10 to get a taxi. Some men tried to get me to go to another door since there were 5 in my family. He said larger cars were in exit door 16. Second, when I went outside, I told the dispatcher I needed a larger vehicle with 5 people. We waited a minute or so and he sent me to a small mini van. We were going to an Airbnb right next to Notre Dame. The driver told me I had to pay 83 euros since there were 5 people and I had to pay extra. I saw your video and that amount seemed high. I went back to the dispatcher and he said that was too high. I didn't take his ride and he had me go to another driver about 2 minutes later. He charged me 55 euros and an extra 4.5 for the fifth person. He was surprised another taxi driver was trying to squeeze 83 euros out of me. Thanks again.

Uber was about €10 less than a taxi as of last week, both are great in non-peak hours as Paris traffic is horrible during rush hours. But Les Frenchies, this is probably the best video I've seen on describing the process of getting from CDG to Paris. 👍

[@JK-jm6kd]

Thank you

[@pattydougherty9116]

We arrived at CDG in October 2023. Train station was in terminal three. There were workers wearing vests with the words”Can I help you?” printed on them. They were so helpful. Signs were easy to follow as you pointed out. Thank you for the videos which really prepared us in so many ways, and took away some anxiety of traveling.

[@jodeeboehm9687]

You two are just the BEST! I stumbled on your channel a few months ago (thank goodness!) and have enjoyed and learned something new from each video you made. You really know your audience and provide the exact info needed to ensure a wonderful visit to Paris. Love the updated look of CDG! Covid kept us away and it looks like the airport received a nice new snazzy look.

[@jasonibiza7993]

I agree!

[@Durga695]

You Les Frenchis folks are brillliant covering almost every angle to make one's stay in Paris even more memoriable

[@davidthaler7018]

Not sure if it was mentioned, but the price of an RER ticket to central Paris includes a transfer to the Metro (use the same ticket at the Metro fare gate).

[@CKLee-rs4kl]

And don't leave the station because then the ticket will be invalid; usually have to go up one level to Metro.

[@alexbaker7871]

What is RER

[@davidthaler7018]

@@alexbaker7871 It’s the acronym for the high-speed commuter rail system operating in and around Paris (Réseau Express Régional). There are 5 lines, one of which has its northern terminus at Charles de Gaulle airport (Terminal 2).

[@Pine_Peaks]

Thanks, I was about to ask this!

[@merlinsaarmets]

Do you know if I go from the airport to Saint-Mitchel Notre-Dame stop with RER B and I need to change to RER C, can I use the same ticket for both rides? Thank you!

[@jeanwhite2705]

Hi Colleen and Antoine, We loved this video! When we visited France, we studied and studied the different ways thru the CDG in order to familiarize ourselves with the things to look for. We were very aware we were going somewhere large and unfamiliar and dealing with another language. My husbands skills were nonexistent and mine were from college days and only updated by watching French channels during the previous months.Luckily my reading skills were better than my spoken ones. We found our way very easily but there was quite a bit of anxious energy leading up to our arrival. This video is so reassuring even now planning our return for next year and dealing with all the regular travels challenges and perhaps more of the same still by next year. Thank You so very much for all you do!

[@erickjerland1281]

This video was very helpful. I’m from Chicago and I’m going to Paris on 8/16/22. I can’t wait. I always wanted to go to Paris.

Hi Les Frenchies. I’m thrilled for you to reach your one year anniversary. I actually thought you were on longer. Your content is so professionally done and always informative and friendly. Please keep up your good work. Josef.

Very useful short video. Thanks! 🇫🇷

I can't tell how valuable your videos have been as we prepare for our first trip to Paris next week. Thanks so much for your amazing details!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

You're welcome

[@juliegoodwin6850]

Thank-you for such an informative video. After a long flight and if you've never been to that particular airport it can be a bit overwhelming, this is such a big help! It would be great if you could do these videos all over the world!😀

[@plainoolong]

Thank you! I just downloaded this so I can rewatch and refresh my memory before landing. I really love your videos, they're really helpful and straightforward.

[@TheAGcollector101]

I fell for the fake taxis I think, as did one more traveler I met, super easy especially when you're all alone. This video unfortunately came to me too late, although I'm definitely saving it for future study abroad students, best video describing the process I have seen so far!!!

[@annakaraduman4580]

We booked our first time trip to Paris today, going on Christmas time. And your youtube channel has been such a help on planning everything. Thank you 🙂

[@Vancouver_Dan]

This is really helpful. I like to have a "roadmap" before I go (rather than wander in circles on arrival). Many thanks!

[@fidgetspinner343]

Loved this, thankyou so much :-) I am DELIGHTED at how succesfull this channel has become in such a short time, couldn't happen to a nicer couple. J'adore Les Frenchies

[@fredbauscus3712]

A couple other tips- If you arrive at Terminal 1 (United\Star Alliance) you'll need to take the free train to the RER station. Also, when taking the RER, check to make sure you get a train that goes straight to Gare du Nord. Otherwise, the trip will be much longer with all the local stops.

[@davidthaler7018]

I’ve seen a few videos with both “fast” and local trains between CDG and central Paris-the time difference was only about 5-7 minutes. Besides, the time you spend WAITING for the fast train is time you could be on a local train. :-)

[@sav7568]

@@davidthaler7018 Agreed. I took the all stops train and found it OK.

[@christianbarnay2499]

RER B has only 1 track in each direction. Trains won't overtake. So just take the first train. The only benefit of the direct train is that it has only one stop at Aulnay-sous-Bois before Gare-du-Nord. So you can take a good nap without fearing that someone hops in and out grabbing your luggage while you're asleep. That's unless extra stops are added on the fly for whatever random reason. RER B is an adventure on its own.

[@davidthaler7018]

@@christianbarnay2499 I’ve seen direct trains stop at CDG1 and Parc des Expositions before continuing to Gare du Nord. That appeared to be during spring and admittedly the video was several years old so perhaps schedules change seasonally or have changed altogether.

Bonjour! I just came across your channel last night and I haven’t stopped watching since! I just wanna say that i LOVE your videos. I have watched A LOT of other travel vloggers in preparation for my trip to France and Belgium, and i can say, BY FAR, your channel is my FAVORITE! ❤ it’s my favorite because it’s informative and straight-to-the-point. Some other vloggers have too much unnecessary fluff, and for someone super busy like me, it’s a pain having to go through the unnecessary fluff. So THANK YOU for such helpful videos! Super appreciate it! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@leslier9417]

Your content is amazing!

[@xx-uz2kz]

The return trip to CDG on the RER B. can create panic when one arrived at the CDG train station and your original Metro ticket will not let you exit. Every time I take this trip to CDG I see many passengers panicking that they can't get out because thei trip originated on a Metro train using a Metro ticket which isn't accept on RER . However you can get access onto the RER with that Metro ticket but you cannot get out at the train terminal at CDG. You need to cover this topic

[@Ana-nj6mw]

So what should I do in that case?😮

[@MidwestAppeals]

We're going the last week in March. My wife is very excited.

[@mickeywilk9788]

Thank you!! I’m flying to Paris by myself for the first time and I was so confused by how to get to the city by public transport. I feel better know what to look out for :)

[@strawberriebabieex3]

good job! i like how you focus on one particular topic and then proceed to answer and explain the options.

[@davidd3381]

A really great video! My top tips for safety are: Only take a taxi from the official taxi rank Take the non-stop RER B The Roissybus to Opera is a great option

[@sandrafrench6125]

Fantastic, it can be so intimidating the first time at CDG. Knowing what to look for is so helpful.💜🇦🇺

Great video as always! Thanks for showing the way to go to the train station, not that complicated. Our routing is already planned. Get off at 2E, do the usual bag pick and going through customs. Then head for the train station, go to Paul for lunch, then to the IDF Mobilités kiosk for our Paris Visite cards, then RER B to Saint-Michel - Notre-Dame, then the underground corridor to Cluny La Sorbonne station on ligne 10 then the metro direction Boulogne - Pont de Saint-Cloud to Charles Michels and a 7-8 minute walk to our Airbnb.
