Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest bus from CDG to Paris?

Bus 350 and 351 are the cheapest at €2.05 on a standard Bus-Tram ticket. The 350 runs to Porte de la Chapelle (Metro 12) and the 351 to Nation, both taking about an hour with 2–4 departures per hour.

Does the Roissybus still run from CDG?

No. Roissybus ran for the last time on 28 February 2026 and was withdrawn after ridership fell about 40% since 2023. Bus 9517 replaced it on 1 March 2026, but it serves Saint-Denis Pleyel (Metro 14) and Argenteuil rather than Opéra. For overnight arrivals, Noctilien N140 and N143 run from roughly 00:30 to 05:00 on a €2.05 ticket.

Can I take a bus with large luggage?

Yes — all CDG bus routes permit large luggage, but none of the remaining services has a dedicated hold. On city buses 350/351 and the Noctilien night buses, keep bags with you; space is limited at peak times. If you are travelling with several large cases, the RER B or a flat-fare taxi is more comfortable.
