Charles de Gaulle Airport - Long Transfer Wait.

Hello, We have a 10 hour wait at Charles De Gaulle Airport and was looking to find out what my options were to go into Paris, possibly The Eiffel Tower? As i am unsure of the distance of the airport into the centre of the city, i am not sure if this is possible? I would be grateful for some ideas to fill our time and making the most of being in Paris. I am travelling with my 2 children aged 7 & 12. Our flight arrives into CDG at 08.40.

You certainly have enough time to go to Paris. The easier way is to take the regional train (RER) which will bring you into Paris in less than an hour for about 10€. Once in Paris, your RER ticket gives you access to the subway (metro) to bring you to your chosen station in Paris..

Thank you.

Hi! It takes around 40 mins to reach the city centre from CDG airport. I wrote a post about Unique things to See in Paris during a Short Layover. Apart from some suggestions I give the details about how to reach them from the airport.
