Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest bus from CDG to Paris?
Bus 350 and 351 are the cheapest at €2.10 using a standard t+ Île-de-France ticket. They serve Gare du Nord and Nation respectively but take slightly longer than premium bus services.
Does the Roissybus run 24 hours?
Roissybus operates daily from approximately 06:00 to 00:30. For very early or late arrivals, check RATP's live schedule. Night buses (Noctilien) cover the gaps on certain routes.
