Paris, France

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)

A genuinely complex airport — Terminal 2 alone splits into seven sub-terminals (2A–2G) with their own layouts, Terminal 1 has an unusual circular design, and Terminal 3 is a single small building. Confirm your specific sub-terminal, not just 'Terminal 2'.

    Ground transport

    Taxi vs bus vs rail depends on group size, luggage, and traffic. Always verify prices at official desks or trusted apps.
