Pickup at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) — meet-and-greet with a sign at the exit
Plan your transfer between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris Gare de l’Est with a route tailored to your terminal, train, and traffic conditions in the 10th arrondissement.
The transfer between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris Gare de l’Est connects Roissy Airport with Paris’s 10th arrondissement. This route is particularly useful for travelers who land at CDG before continuing by train to Grand Est, Strasbourg, Reims, Metz, Nancy, Germany or Luxembourg.
Your exact pickup point depends on your flight. Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport has several arrival areas, including Terminals 1, 2, and 3, as well as multiple halls within Terminal 2. Before leaving the airport, check the terminal number on your booking or the arrivals screens. The terminals are spread across a large airport site, and transfers between them can take time. The CDGVAL connects the terminals, Roissypôle, and the airport’s train stations.
From the terminal, the road route generally leaves the Roissy airport site via roads connecting to the A1 motorway, then joins the wider Paris road network. The approach to Paris may use the ring road or major boulevards, depending on traffic, the time of day, and any temporary restrictions. There is no single route that applies to every pickup.
Traffic can vary significantly between an early-morning arrival, weekday rush hour, a busy weekend, or a day with demonstrations. Areas around Porte de la Chapelle, Porte de la Villette, Boulevard de la Chapelle, and the major train stations can slow the final approach. Allow plenty of time if you need to catch a train at a set time after your transfer.
Gare de l’Est, officially Paris Est, is located on Place du 11 novembre 1918 in the 10th arrondissement. The station has several entrances around the square, Rue d’Alsace, Rue du 8 Mai 1945, Boulevard de Strasbourg, and Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin. It’s useful to know this because the most convenient entrance may vary depending on your platform, concourse, and onward travel plans.
The station has several areas, including the Alsace and Saint-Martin concourses and a cross-platform concourse. Signs inside the station show departures, platform numbers, and access to services. If you’re connecting to a long-distance train, have your train number and departure time ready when choosing your drop-off point at Paris Est.
Gare de l’Est is also connected to the Paris public transportation network by Metro lines 4, 5, and 7, as well as line E of the RER near the Gare de l’Est–Magenta area. These connections can be convenient if your final destination is in Paris or the nearby suburbs, but they add a walk through a busy area. A direct car transfer avoids changing modes of transportation after a flight with several pieces of luggage.
The actual journey time depends on your landing time, terminal, how long it takes to leave the airport, and traffic between Roissy and Paris. Driving time can also vary when several flights arrive around the same time or access to the area around the station is slow. Navigation times should therefore be treated as estimates, not a guarantee of arrival at a specific time.
For a train connection, allow time to get off the plane, collect your belongings, reach the pickup area, and find the right concourse at Gare de l’Est. If you have a non-refundable train ticket or a departure soon after landing, it’s especially important to allow plenty of time for your transfer.
Keep these details handy: terminal number, airline, flight number, scheduled arrival time, and train number for your departure from Paris Est. This information makes it easier to identify your arrival and adapt the trip to the situation on the ground. If your terminal changes or your flight is updated, provide the new pickup details as soon as possible.
Travelers considering public transport also have options from CDG, including RER B from Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 and Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV stations. However, this option requires a connection or additional walking to reach Gare de l’Est. For a direct trip between the airport and the station, a chauffeur-driven car is more convenient for travelers looking to minimize transfers, stairs, and walking through stations.
Our estimates take distance and travel time, including traffic, into account. The final fare is confirmed in the booking form.
Paris Gare de l’Est is one of the capital’s main railway gateways. It serves the Grand Est region and several international routes to Germany and Luxembourg. Its historic façade and location in the 10th arrondissement make it an important landmark for travelers arriving in Paris or heading east from the capital.
A stay at La Réserve Paris makes it easy to plan a variety of walks from avenue Gabriel. The Champs-Élysées gardens provide a pleasant transition between lively avenues and major cultural sites. Grand Palais and Petit Palais are in the same area, while Place de la Concorde opens onto the Tuileries and the historic route to the Louvre.
This neighborhood offers quick access to several parts of Paris. Metro lines 4, 5, and 7 serve Gare de l’Est station. Line 4 makes it easy to get to the center of the capital, while lines 5 and 7 connect to other arrondissements. Nearby Magenta and RER E are also useful landmarks for some trips to eastern Paris.
Gare de l’Est has dining areas, shops, information desks, and services for travelers. Luggage lockers are listed on the station’s lower level, subject to availability and the conditions in effect at the time of your visit. The station halls and entrances are signposted from Place du 11 Novembre 1918 and the surrounding streets.
For travelers staying in the 10th arrondissement, the neighborhood offers easy access to numerous hotels, restaurants, and cafés. Walks to the Canal Saint-Martin, Porte Saint-Martin, and the Grands Boulevards offer a glimpse of a less monumental but lively side of Paris, known for its covered passageways, theaters, and historic shopping streets.
From Paris Est, travelers can continue on to cities in the Grand Est region or to international destinations east of France. The station is therefore a frequent connection point for trips to Strasbourg, Reims, Metz, Nancy, and border regions. Check your train number and departure track on the station screens, as platform assignments may change.
When you arrive, take a moment to find the exit that best suits your address or metro connection. The exits at Place du 11 Novembre 1918, Rue d’Alsace, and Boulevard de Strasbourg do not all lead to the same spot. Choosing the right one can make the next leg of your trip easier, especially if you’re heading to a hotel, a business meeting, or another Paris train station.
Gare de l’Est is in an arrondissement where major transit hubs, shops, and cultural attractions are within walking distance. Gare du Nord, the Canal Saint-Martin, Porte Saint-Martin, and Place de la République are nearby or easy to reach, depending on your route. The neighborhood works well for a short break between trains or as a first stop in Paris before heading to your accommodation.
