Paris Charles de Gaulle has RER B rail stations serving the airport complex, with the Terminal 2 rail hub also connected to long-distance rail. Terminal location matters before you choose the route.
CDGVAL
CDGVAL is the airport’s landside automated rail shuttle linking key terminal/station areas. It is useful when your flight terminal and rail station are not in the same immediate area.
RER B
RER B is the standard public-transport rail link toward Paris. Check the current service plan before travel because engineering works or disruptions can alter the normal pattern.
Road transport
Taxi and private transfer avoid rail changes and can be easier with multiple bags, children or a destination away from the RER corridor. Road time is traffic-dependent.
Terminal naming is detailed
Terminal 2 includes multiple halls. Confirm the exact hall, not only “Terminal 2,” before following directions to transport or a connection.
