Shuttles and Buses from and to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)

Charles de Gaulle Airport is well connected to Paris and the surrounding suburbs by bus. While the premium Le Bus Direct service no longer operates, CDG still offers plenty of reliable and affordable options through RATP routes, night buses, and intercity coaches. In addition, dedicated shuttles serve popular attractions such as Disneyland and Parc Astérix.

Our Tip: Besides public routes to Paris, CDG has its own internal shuttle network. Free N1 and N2 buses help passengers move around Terminal 2, while color-coded shuttles support certain terminal connections for transfers. Hotel shuttles (often identified by color, e.g., black/pink/blue) link the airport with nearby accommodation zones.
