The highly anticipated CDG Express rail service is set to transform travel between central Paris and Charles de Gaulle Airport starting March 28, 2027. Connecting Paris Gare de l’Est directly to Terminal 2, this new non-stop line will provide a rapid 20-minute transit option for international and business travelers. Operated by Hello Paris, the service is designed as a premium, reliable alternative to road travel, promising to make the journey into the heart of the city smoother and more efficient than ever before.

Pricing for the service has been structured to offer flexibility and value. A standard one-way fare is set at €25, while round-trip tickets are available for €28. Local commuters holding an Île-de-France Navigo pass will enjoy a reduced rate of €16.50, and children under 16 can travel for free when accompanied by an adult. The trains will run every 15 minutes from 5:00 a.m. until midnight, with each train capable of carrying up to 420 passengers. An exclusive premium lounge area will also be available for those seeking an extra touch of comfort during their transit.

By offering a consistent and high-frequency connection, the CDG Express is expected to carry up to 8 million passengers annually. This significant infrastructure project, representing a €2.6 billion investment, aims to reduce pressure on the existing RER B regional train line and decrease traffic congestion on major motorways like the A1 and A3. As Paris continues to evolve as a global tourism and business hub, the launch of this dedicated rail link stands as a major advancement in the city’s transport network, providing a modern, fast, and sustainable way to navigate the distance between the airport and the vibrant center of the French capital.
