PARIS AIRPORT TRANSFER AND EUROSTAR TRANSFER OPTIONS
Paris airport transfer options
The vast majority of new arrivals at the city`s airports choose a combination of the suburban train system and the Paris metro system as their means of getting to their city centre accommodation.
The suburban train system - the RER - is usually the first mode of Paris public transport to be used on arrival at the airports - A link leading to detailed information for those vistors arriving at airports is accessible from below. The RER trains deliver passengers to the larger city centre stations where immediate access to the city`s metro system is available for the final leg of the journey.
