RER B passengers use Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 for Terminals 1 and 3 or Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV for Terminals 2A to 2G.
Drop-off in Eiffel Tower
A vehicle cannot treat the monument itself as a hotel doorway. Provide the exact hotel, restaurant or street address near the Eiffel Tower, or agree on a legal stopping point with the transfer service. Champ de Mars, Trocadéro, Bir-Hakeim and École Militaire are distinct approaches with different walking distances.
Travel Time from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Eiffel Tower
Terminal roads, the approach into Paris and traffic near the Seine affect driving time. Streets around the Champ de Mars have pedestrian zones, security controls and limited stopping options. Treat the 39-minute clear-road estimate as a reference and use the exact hotel or approved stopping point for live routing.
Taxi from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Eiffel Tower
Use the official taxi rank outside the baggage-claim exit for the arrival terminal and decline drivers soliciting passengers inside. Rank locations vary by terminal. Give the official Eiffel Tower address or, preferably, the exact nearby hotel or legal stopping point because the monument does not have a curbside hotel entrance.
