Private Car Service from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to Paris Montparnasse Station

The trip between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris Montparnasse Station connects two busy transportation hubs. It’s especially useful for travelers landing at Roissy before continuing by train from Montparnasse, or for those heading to the airport after a stay or business trip in Paris.

The road distance is about 36 kilometers. In light traffic, the trip may take around 50 minutes, but this is only an estimate and depends greatly on the time of day, arrival terminal, traffic on the roads into Paris, and conditions around the station. The trip can take considerably longer during rush hour. If you’re connecting to a train, it’s best to allow plenty of time between your scheduled landing and the train’s departure.

Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport is divided into several areas, including Terminals 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, and 3. The terminal listed on your flight ticket alone may not give you an accurate idea of how long it will take to leave the airport: you’ll also need to account for deplaning, passport control where applicable, and baggage claim.

Travelers arriving at Terminals 2E or 2F can follow the signs for baggage claim and the public exits. The other terminals have their own layouts as well. To make pickup easier, provide your flight number, expected terminal, and, if possible, arrival area. A terminal change or arrival at a different concourse may affect the pickup point.

From Roissy, the road route heads toward the Paris metropolitan area before continuing to the Left Bank and the Montparnasse district. Traffic can change quickly along the way, especially during commuter hours, when several flights arrive at once, or when traffic builds up on expressways.

The station is in the 15th arrondissement at 17 boulevard de Vaugirard, across from the Montparnasse Tower. Road access may vary depending on the entrance or concourse you need. The station includes Montparnasse 1 – Hall 1, Montparnasse 2 – Hall 2, and Montparnasse 3 Vaugirard – Hall 3. Check the concourse listed on your ticket, especially if your train is leaving soon.

For a flight-to-train connection, you’ll need to account for several steps: arriving at the terminal, leaving the airport, collecting your bags, traveling by road, reaching the station entrance, and finding your way inside Montparnasse. Driving time is only part of the total time required.

The station spans several levels, and its entrances do not all lead directly to the same platforms. Hall 1 has entrances on Boulevard de Vaugirard, Place Raoul-Dautry and Rue du Commandant-Mouchotte. Hall 2 is above the platforms, while Hall 3 Vaugirard is near Rue du Cotentin and Place des Cinq-Martyrs-du-Lycée-Buffon. These landmarks can help you choose the exit closest to your departure area.

• Provide your flight number and arrival terminal when arranging your transfer.
• Check your ticket to see whether your train departs from Hall 1, Hall 2, or Hall 3.
• Allow enough time for security checks, baggage, and changing traffic conditions.
• Keep your train information handy so you can confirm your departure hall or area when you arrive.
• If you have oversized luggage or are traveling in a group, allow time to move between the station entrance, concourses, and platforms.

A CDG transfer to Montparnasse is especially useful if you want to avoid multiple changes between the airport, public transit, and the station. However, travel is still subject to actual traffic conditions and the terminal’s arrangements on the day of your trip.
