Departing from Paris

Taxis to either airport are always an option, but there is often heavy traffic to Charles de Gaulle, and a taxi can cost €70 or more if you get stuck.

If you choose to drive to the airport, long-term parking is available at Orly and Charles de Gaulle at a reasonable cost. Both airports offer garage and lot car parks that are priced based on proximity to the terminals. Daily costs range from €13 to €34, with a flat fee schedule that applies for longer stays. For example, parking your car at Charles de Gaulle for 15 to 30 days costs a flat fee of approximately €398.
