CDG ➔ Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro & Champs-Élysées ✓ Updated for 2026

Paris CDG Airport to Eiffel Tower & Champs-Élysées [2026]

📍 Vzdálenost: 32 km
⚡ Fastest: 45 min
💰 From: €13.00 ($14.10)
🏆 Top Pick: RER B + RER C / €65 Flat-Rate Taxi
⚡ Quick 10-Second Verdict:

Because the Eiffel Tower (7th Arrondissement) requires two train transfers with stairs (RER B to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, then RER C to Champ de Mars–Tour Eiffel — ~55 mins, €13.00), couples and families with luggage are much better off taking an Official Flat-Rate Taxi (€65 to Eiffel Tower / Left Bank, or €56 to Champs-Élysées / Right Bank) or a Pre-Booked Private Car.

The Eiffel Tower, Champ de Mars, and Trocadéro sit on the western side of Paris, 32 km from Charles de Gaulle Airport. While the €13 rail ticket covers the entire RER + Metro journey, the transfer corridors at Saint-Michel Notre-Dame involve several escalators and passages.

Tickets, Luggage & Late-Night Arrivals

🎟️ How Tickets & Payments Work

One single €13 "Paris Region <> Airports" ticket covers both the RER B from CDG and your transfer to RER C (or Metro Line 6 / Line 1) inside Paris.

🧳 Traveling with Suitcases

If your hotel is on the Left Bank near the Eiffel Tower (Rue Cler, Champ de Mars, Invalides) and you have suitcases, the €65 official flat-rate taxi or a pre-booked transfer saves 400 meters of underground station corridors.

🌙 Arriving After Midnight

RER C stops running around 23:30. For evening landings, go directly by taxi or private car.

🚫 Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Buying a second ticket when switching from RER B to RER C at Saint-Michel — your €13 airport ticket covers the entire transfer!
  • Fake taxi drivers aggressively approach passengers inside Terminal 2 arrivals wearing fake badges and charging €100–€150. Only follow the overhead floor signs to the official "Taxis Parisiens" queue outside, where law mandates a strict flat rate of €56 (Right Bank) or €65 (Left Bank).
