Paris CDG airport

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is the main hub for Air France and the largest airport in France. The airport has platforms for both the RER express train to central Paris and the high-speed TGV trains that connect major cities across France. The RER has two stations at the airport: Terminal 1 station (Aéroport CDG1) and Terminal 2 station (Aéroport CDG2-TGV). The TGV only stops at Aéroport CDG2-TGV. All terminals are connected by the free airport shuttle train called CDGVAL.

Nearly half of the RER trains between the airport and Gare du Nord operate non-stop. Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 have RER stations, linked by the CDGVAL shuttle system.
