Pickup at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) — meet-and-greet with a sign at the exit
Arrange your journey between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and the pier, boarding point, or port site specified for your cruise in Saint-Nazaire.
The transfer between Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Saint-Nazaire connects Paris’s main airport hub with a maritime area on the Loire estuary. The final destination may be a quay, a boarding point for a sightseeing cruise, or a port facility specified by the trip organizer. The name “Saint-Nazaire” alone may therefore not be enough to identify the exact access point.
Before departure, check the address shown on your ticket, booking confirmation, or the cruise line’s instructions. When available, add the name of the ship, company, or booked activity. This detail helps distinguish a sea cruise, a guided outing departing from the city center, and a business meeting in a port or industrial area.
Paris Charles de Gaulle is organized into several areas: Terminals 1 and 3, as well as the different sections of Terminal 2, including 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, and 2G. The assigned terminal depends on the airline and flight, so it is important to provide the flight number and the arrival terminal shown in your flight information.
The meeting point should be set after arrival, once you have completed the airport procedures. Depending on your journey, this may include disembarking, possible screening, collecting your luggage, and proceeding to the area accessible to the public. Connecting passengers should also check whether they are actually arriving at CDG or need to complete another step before beginning the road journey.
Saint-Nazaire lies west of Paris, on the Loire estuary and near the Atlantic Ocean. The journey gradually leaves the Paris region before heading toward western France and the Nantes–Saint-Nazaire area. Actual travel time varies depending on the departure time, traffic around CDG and Paris, conditions on major roads, holiday periods, and the approach to the Saint-Nazaire urban area.
For a cruise, the ship or excursion departure time is not the only factor to consider. Allow extra time for leaving the aircraft, completing formalities, collecting luggage, traveling by road, and finding the correct access point upon arrival. When the schedule allows, arriving in Saint-Nazaire the day before may be a more cautious plan than flying in and boarding immediately afterward.
Provide the CDG terminal, flight number, scheduled arrival time, and the complete address of your arrival point in Saint-Nazaire. If your documents only state “Port of Saint-Nazaire,” ask the organizer to confirm the pier or meeting location. For a local sightseeing cruise, the boarding point may differ from a terminal intended for a large ship.
Business travelers, crew members, and service providers may receive instructions different from those given to passengers. In that case, use the address of an office, entrance, or authorized area instead of simply stating the port.
Our estimates take distance and travel time, including traffic, into account. The final fare is confirmed in the booking form.
Saint-Nazaire brings together an urban center, port basins, coastline, and port activities around the Loire estuary. The Port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire spans several sites and supports a range of activities. For this reason, the address provided by your cruise line or organizer is the key reference: a drop-off in central Saint-Nazaire does not necessarily correspond to a port area elsewhere in the estuary.
Sightseeing cruises departing from Saint-Nazaire list their boarding point as Kribi Quay, accessible via Avenue Demange and located near the Ecomuseum. This is the departure point for local guided cruises from Saint-Nazaire. It should not automatically be assumed to be a cruise ship terminal or the meeting point for another cruise line.
The submarine base and the Ecomuseum are useful landmarks in the central area. Escal’Atlantic is also located in the submarine base, on Boulevard de la Légion d’Honneur. These places can help you find your way during a sightseeing stay, but they do not replace the official address listed on your boarding documents.
Saint-Nazaire’s landscape combines port facilities, shipyards, cultural attractions, beaches, and coastal promenades. Access to some commercial or industrial sites may differ from tourist routes through the city center. If your destination mentions Montoir-de-Bretagne, a specific terminal, or a restricted area, use that complete information rather than just the name Saint-Nazaire.
After you arrive, check the exact check-in location, the cutoff time shown on your confirmation, and the instructions for your activity. Sightseeing cruise schedules and conditions may vary, so the organizer’s information for your date should take priority.

Provide the quay, boarding point, or site listed on your confirmation. Add the ship or organizer’s name if you know it, as the port area includes several sites.
No. Kribi Quay is used for local sightseeing cruises listed by the tourism office. For a cruise ship or another maritime activity, the address provided by the cruise line takes precedence.
Provide your flight number and arrival terminal, especially if you’re arriving at Terminal 1, Terminal 3, or an area of Terminal 2. This information helps identify your pickup point.
Yes. Disembarking, formalities, baggage, traffic on a long-distance trip, and finding the quay can all take time. If the schedule allows, you may want to arrive the day before.
No. The submarine base, Escal’Atlantic, and the Ecomuseum are landmarks in the central area, but they don’t replace the exact address of a quay, terminal, or port area.

KENZA from Casablanca. I used Booking Paris Transfer during my last stay in Paris for a day of shopping and then for my airport transfer. I highly recommend them to any visitor. The Mercedes van is extremely comfortable, and the driver is very friendly and exceptionally helpful. He will put you at ease and listen to all your requests. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. On my last day, I used them for my airport transfer. The driver accompanied me to check-in and helped me with my luggage. He also helped me with my tax refund paperwork. TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOOKING PARIS TRANSFER!
