    Transfer Paris CDG to Gare de Lyon

    Looking to do this next month, but flights/train times are leaving me with 1 h 30 ish to get from airport to Train station.

    I was looking at a taxi that do transfers, anyone done this? Saw this https://www.topparistransfer.com but not sure if genuine or not.

    TIA

    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

      It's more Airport to Train station where timings are tight but yet taxi outside the terminal is an option.

      Just wondered if anyone had used the transfer service.

        90 minutes?

        Good luck. I've failed to get connections with that transfer time at CDG on a flight I frequently took.

        To resolve it I started to go land side (via the pilot Lane) and walk to the appropriate terminal
        as for using that transfer service yes, but to go to disneyland with the children, twas OK but it was a 5 minute walk from the terminal to where their car was.
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Sorry, meant outside the airport to the station.

          The biggest risk with any transfer service is the traffic, which can be horrendous. Have you looked at the RER train service? If you get the timing right that might work out better.

            You certainly looking 90+ minutes for a taxi ride. I used to commute weekly to Paris few years ago to work at Saint-Lazare area and tried to avoid CDG as a plague. Constant 1h+ passport control queus for both incoming and ougoing flights. Also, my personal best was 2:20 from Paris to CDG. Orly, Gare du Nord - anything but that place.

              Thanks for all the comments, better to book the later train then and not have the stress of trying to get to station during morning rush hour.

                Same. Only ever missed one connection where flights were on time and over an hour between them and that was CDG. My client put out an advisory about transfer times and CDG specifically as I wasn't the only one.

                That said I've had some pretty hairy runs across Heathrow to get the connection in similar timescales so not sure the problem is confined to CDG only.

                  You are too tight with 90 minutes.
                  More chance of IR35 being abolished than you making that.
