Getting around by train Paris 1st 75001

The station is connected to the TGV networks South, West, North, as well as to Thalys and Main lines. It is located between terminals 2 C, 2 D, 2 E and 2 F and is served by the free shuttle CDGVAL (towards terminals 1 and 3) and by bus airports of Paris N 1 (stops at terminals 2 A, 2 B, 2 C, 2 D, 2 E and 2 F).

Owned by SNCF, Transilien is the network operating in Paris and the Ile-de-France region. There are 15 lines covering a network of almost 1,300 kilometers criss-crossing the region. Of these 15 lines, 2 are operated with RATP (RER A and B), and some others are tramway lines (4, 11, 12 and 13). If all this seems a bit confusing, it's much simpler when it comes to fares: the regulatory authority, Ile-de-France Mobilités, is responsible for applying a common fare structure, and tickets are readily available.

This is the direct competitor of the TGV, which has arrived on the Paris-Lyon (France's busiest line) and Paris-Milan routes. Thanks to European regulations, Trenitalia, the transalpine equivalent of our national SNCF, is now able to offer high-speed services between Paris and these two emblematic destinations. Their red trains, the "Frecciarossa", offer 4 ranges of comfort, above-average service and fares that remain very reasonable for the service provided. Competition is therefore fierce.
