Taxi Transfers To and From Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport

Paris CDG, or Roissy Airport, is located some 23 to 25 kms (14 to 16 miles) northeast of Paris, the capital of France, and one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. Only official taxis are permitted to operate in the airport, and there are two different types available.

'Paris only' taxis cover the city and three bordering departments: that of Hauts-de-Seine (Department 92), Seine-Saint-Denis (Department 93) and Val-de-Marne (Department 94).

'Suburban taxis' cover central Paris too, but provide also transport to four bordering departments: Essone/Department 91, Val-d'Oise/Department 95, Yvelines/Department 78 and Seine-et-Marne, which falls into Department 77.

Some taxi companies already have automated terminals inside the Arrivals areas, for example G7 (www.g7booking.com and www.g7.fr ). Their booking terminal is inside the Baggage Claim area at Terminal 2F.
