But in addition to the journey time, you should also consider the waiting time for the taxi. The cost of the taxi trip between CDG and Paris is between 50 Euros and 60 Euros, depending on the route taken and the destination in Paris.

For 2026, taxi fares from Paris airports to the city center are based on a fixed-rate system set by the Paris Police Prefecture, providing transparency for travelers. If you are flying into Charles de Gaulle (CDG), the flat rate is €56 to the "Right Bank" (northern half of Paris) and €65 to the "Left Bank" (southern half). If you are flying into Orly (ORY), the rates are lower: €36 to the Left Bank and €44 to the Right Bank. These prices apply to direct trips in both directions and include one piece of luggage; however, a "supplement" of €4.50 to €5.50 may be charged for a fifth passenger or bulky items. It is essential to only take official taxis from the designated "Taxi" ranks outside the terminals—never follow individuals offering rides in the arrivals hall, as these are "fake" taxis that will overcharge you. Ride-hailing apps like Uber or G7 are also available but their prices can "surge" during peak hours, often making the fixed-rate official taxi the most predictable and economical choice for a direct transfer to downtown Paris.
