Would be interested in knowing the cost of a taxi fare (including 2 suitcases)from Roissy-CDG T3 to Porte-de-Pantin/La Villette and the travel time on a monday morming.

Thank you

Hi j,

Figure about 45-50E.

Less than an hour.

Well, I am used to taking a cab from CDG to the 20th (place Gambetta), and it's never more than 40 euros, luggage and tip included. Since La Villette is closer, I would bet on approximately the same amount at most. As for the time, it should be closer to 30-40 mn than an hour. Be careful: for some reason, taxis are rather thin on the ground in T3. They must assume that since it is a "low cost" terminal, people are too broke to afford a cab or something!

Ira has it about right....40 to 50 Euro.
Ask first to get an idea, and for some reason it comes out about what they say. There MIGHT a little charge per suitcase if the driver handles them.(maybe 5 euro each????)
Taxi is WELL worth it!

I take taxis but I do NOT consider 5 Euros per bag a "little" charge!!!!

I wouldn't consider 5 euro each a little charge also, but that isn't what it is in Paris -- it's .90 euro per bag extra.

I agree with Art on the fare and time, it is less than to central Paris, of course (which is what Ira is quoting, I believe).

Ooops! Yes...the 40 to 50 euro is about right,,,but I was WAY off in the "5 euro per bag"(just didn't think that one through as it was written in quickly) ,,,more like 1 to 2 euro I imagine, Last Oct. we paid 40 e, then the driver charged an extra something for two 24" suitcases and 2 carryons.
The .90 E. seems like an odd number, Christina, and I doubt that is right at this time!!!

But who really cares anyway...we are both close enough.

mari5, Christina is right, .90 euros is the correct fee per bag.

PICKING UP OF LUGGAGE AND BULKY ITEMS: 0.90 € per unit. Luggage usually means any bag or parcel weighing 5 kgs or more, skis, bicycles, baby carriages, small piece of furniture, pictures, etc...

Yes, right, and thanks for the very inclusive "infotaxiparis" web site. That is a wonderful site for everyone to know.
.90 is STILL a very odd figure and "come on", anyone (including the Parisians) would round it off to 1 Euro.
(AND factor in the possible 10% tip)

I just got back from Paris a few days ago.When traveling alone (99% of the time), I ALWAYS take the RER into town, but there were three people, who were first timers mostly, with me this time who insisted on taking a taxi. It was a Sunday, less traffic, and the fare from Charles de Gaulle to the 6th...one block south of Blvd. St. Germain and between rue de Seine and rue Mabillon was over 67 Euros... $93.80. I nearly had a heart attack.It would have been around 9 Euros on the RER. Happy Travels!

Sunday is the higest fare rate all day, fare C outside the city and fare B inside the city. It is the most expensive day of the week to take a taxi. I also check to make sure they dont "forget" to switch the fare when they get to the city. I have never caught a driver doing it to me but i have seen it from time to time in the city.

Thank you all for the helpful comments and information.

As for the "cheapskates" exiting from T3 - talk about profiling! We prefer to pay less on plane fare and have more to spend while touring. Let's hope the Parisian taxi drivers appreciate this.
