Where chauffeurs meet passengers
at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is 25 km north-east of central Paris in Roissy-en-France. The airport has three terminal complexes: Terminal 1 (Star Alliance and other carriers), Terminal 2 (split into sub-terminals 2A through 2G, dominated by Air France and SkyTeam), and Terminal 3 (charter and low-cost). The complexes are not connected on foot; the free CDGVAL shuttle links them. Chauffeurs meet passengers in the arrivals hall of the specific sub-terminal the flight lands at.
Practical tips for CDG.
Confirm the sub-terminal, not just the terminal
A flight to 'Terminal 2' is meaningless. 2E and 2G are 800 metres apart and reached by separate shuttles. Always confirm the sub-terminal from the boarding pass.
Morning bank is the worst window
Transatlantic flights cluster between 06:00 and 09:00. Passport control can stretch to 60-90 minutes, so build buffer around early-morning meets.
Short-stay parks are closest
Each sub-terminal has a short-stay car park within a few minutes' walk. The TGV station between 2C/D and 2E/F is a useful landmark for the central sub-terminals.
