Air France Les Cars & Paris: A Bus for All Reasons

Whether travelers are flying into Charles de Gaulle or Orly Airports, Air France’s Les Cars (French for “motorcoach”) offer an uncomplicated and inexpensive way to reach the center of Paris – or vice verse. And, you don’t have to be an Air France passenger. Les Cars are air-conditioned, have special luggage compartments and do not require tired travelers to tow their suitcases up and down stairs. The ride takes between 45 minutes and one hour, time of day and traffic depending.

The only draw back is from downtown Paris station you need to taxi then to your hotel.Thus we always recommend for a family, you hire a limo ( though us of course :) and go from the airport direct to your hotel.
